Examples of media and custom code:

  • External forms (Google forms, Typeform, and more!)
  • External videos (if your video is hosted on YouTube or is downloaded locally you can also insert it via the YouTube URL or upload it directly to Impact)
  • Kaltura Videos
  • Panopto Videos
  • HP5 content (https://h5p.org/) like interactive videos, course presentations, charts quizzes, and more!
