  • Updated

Handshake's Post Composer grants you the ability to share content with your students through the feed! You can provide inspiring messages, updates, videos, opportunities, share Handshake content and more using our posting feature.

To learn more about Handshake's Feed, please refer to Handshake Feed and Post Composer Overview.

 

Posting Content to Handshake's Feed

To get started, select Posts from the left navigation bar.

Then click Share something with students...

In the pop-up, select Choose file to upload an image or video. You can also drag and drop an image or video into this box to upload it. We support JPG and PNG files for images.

Note: When you record videos in HDR, Cloudflare automatically converts them to SDR for compatibility, which can make colors look less vibrant. To keep your video looking its best, export it directly to SDR in your video editing app before uploading, so you can avoid Cloudflare's automatic conversion.
