# Media Upload ## Overview HyperSkill allows adding media such as images, audio, and PDF documents to be used in their simulations. Authors must upload these files to their media repository before they can be added to simulations. HyperSkill support the following media files. ### Images Images can be attached to virtual object surfaces like a display monitor or a poster. Accepted files: .*jpg*, .*jpeg,* .*png* ### Audio Audio can provide immersive sounds related to the simulation environment, or a more customized system sounds (chimes, alarms, etc.).
