From your Dashboard, click on the “Media Library” icon:

(Please note that Cloudinary is mid-flight on deploying a new Media Library UI. If you do not see a “more upload options” link, talk to Dan).

We’re going to be grabbing our 360° video from a web address, so go ahead and paste in the following URL, and hit “upload”:

https://res.cloudinary.com/de-demo/video/upload/v1518314168/tropical360_qjbr2d.mp4

What’s that? An Error? Looks like the original four-minute HD video is a bit too big for our free-tier account. Fortunately, it’s hosted on Cloudinary, so we can just make one little change to the URL (adding du_120)...

https://res.cloudinary.com/de-demo/video/upload/du_120/v1518314168/tropical360_qjbr2d.mp4

...and cut the video in half on the fly, trimming it to 120 seconds, which gets us under the limit.

Congratulations! You’ve uploaded your first resource to Cloudinary. Now, to deliver it to a webpage...
