# Attach/embed multimedia content
## Where?
It is possible to attach/embed multimedia content in the following options:
* [HOME > Timeline](START.Timeline.en), both in the posts and in the comments.
* [EVALUATION > Test > Write question](ASSESSMENT.Tests.en#writing-a-question), both in the stem and in each of the single or multiple choice answers.
* [MESSAGES > Forums > New discussion](MESSAGES.Forums.en#new-thread) and [MESSAGES > Forums > New comment](MESSAGES.Forums.en#new-post)
* [MESSAGES > Write new message](MESSAGES.Write.en)
## How?
To attach/embed multimedia content you can click on one of the three icons shown, depending on the type of content:
* **Upload an image or video file** (click the _multimedia file_ icon, on the left) that you have previously stored in your computer or device. When you click on the icon, a form with three fields appears:
* File selector. By clicking on it you can select a file from your computer or device. The file can be:
* A JPG, PNG, static GIF, or TIF image, with no size limit. The platform will convert the image to JPG format and reduce its size if necessary.
* An animated GIF image that does not exceed a certain size in bytes.
* An MP4, OGG or WEBM video that does not exceed a certain size in bytes.
* Link (optional).
* Title or attribution of the image (optional).
* **Embed a YouTube video** (click the _YouTube_ icon, in the center). When you click on the icon, a form with one field appears:
* Link to YouTube video. The platform processes this link to find the code associated with the video and use it to create an embedded video link.
* **Embed other multimedia content from an external website** (click the _HTML code_ icon, on the right). You can embed multimedia content such as videos, images, presentations, maps, etc. from different websites that offer links of the `<iframe>` type, such as YouTube, Vimeo, Slideshare, Google Maps, etc. When you click on the icon, a form with one field appears:
* Link to the URL of the embedded multimedia content. The original website can have a _Share_ button or link that will offer you an HTML code of the type `<iframe src="URL" ...></iframe>`. The URL that you have to copy into the form is the one that appears in the `src` attribute of the `iframe` tag. If you copy a URL other than the one in the `src` attribute of `iframe`, or if you copy all the HTML code `<iframe src="URL" ...></iframe>`, or if the original web does not provide a `<iframe>`-type code, the content will not be displayed correctly.
