Share an audio recording from the Internet

1.  Select a recording you want to share as part of your post. Copy the web location of the audio recording.

    • Look for a Share button or copy the URL address that appears in your web browser when you are on the page where the audio is displayed.
    • When you copy the link, your phone or computer will store it until you're ready to paste it into the forum.
2.  Go to the forum and write any introduction or comments about the recording you are going to share. 

3.  Look for the Insert media icon in the editing toolbar. When you hover over the icon it shows 'Insert or edit audio/video file.'
    • Select the icon and paste the URL of the audio recording into the 'Source URL' field.
    • Enter a name and click 'Insert media.'  The name will change to indicate that it is linked.
    • Don't forget to click on 'Post to forum.'
