## **FAQ & Troubleshooting**

### **Could not Upload**

If you get an **error message saying that the format you're trying to upload is not supported**, you may need to check how this file was saved to ensure it has the **correct MIME type**.

A **MIME type** (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions type) is a way for software and browsers to identify the format of a file so they know how to handle it.

{% hint style="success" %}
When saving a **PowerPoint file**, the MIME type depends on the format you choose. In most modern contexts - and when uploading to the platform - use: **.pptx.**
{% endhint %}
