Tips (from UNC School of Ed Tech Services):
> **Note:** It is highly recommended that you **upload videos one-at-a-time**.
 * Many file types can be uploaded into VoiceThread (i.e, Word documents, PDF files, PowerPoint files, video files, and mp3 files).
 * Files **up to 100MB** in size (per file) can be uploaded into a VoiceThread.
 * Multiple files can be uploaded into a VoiceThread.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">VoiceThreads can be exported as .mov files so they can be accessed and viewed outside of your VoiceThread account.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">Each VoiceThread account comes with thirty (30) free exports. Additional exports are $2.99 each (after the 30 exports have been depleted).
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">You will need to have a webcam or a microphone attached to your computer if you want to make comments with video or audio.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">The **maximum length for a text box comment is 1200 characters** (including spaces) per text box
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">The **maximum length for an audio/video comment is 10 minutes** (per comment).
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">While there is no character limitation on text comments, if the comment is too long, the text window will eventually surpass the size of the VoiceThread screen, truncating the extended text. To avoid this, it **is best to divide up the text for long comments into multiple text comment boxes**.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 1em;">By default, all VoiceThreads are private. Only those that you invite to access your VoiceThread will be able to do so. However, at the present time, only the VoiceThread login page is behind SSL encryption, so please keep this in mind if your VoiceThread contains confidential information.
