In the Video Indexer web-based portal, you can upload a media file using the file upload dialog or by pointing to a URL that directly hosts the source file (see [example](https://nimbuscdn-nimbuspm.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/2b533311-b215-4409-80af-529c3e853622/Ignite-short.mp4)). Any URL that hosts the media content using an iFrame or embed code will not work (see [example](https://www.videoindexer.ai/accounts/7e1282e8-083c-46ab-8c20-84cae3dc289d/videos/5cfa29e152/?t=4.11)). The Video Indexer API requires you to specify the input file via a URL or a byte array. Uploads via a URL using the API are limited to 10 GB, but do not have a time duration limit. For more information, please see this [how-to guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/video-indexer/upload-index-videos).

### How long does it take Video Indexer to extract insights from media?
65
74
66
75
The amount of time it takes to index a video or audio file, both using the Video Indexer API and the Video Indexer web-based interface, depends on multiple parameters such as the file length and quality, the number of insights found in the file, the number of [reserved units](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-scale-media-processing-overview) available, and whether the [streaming endpoint](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/media-services/previous/media-services-streaming-endpoints-overview) is enabled or not. We recommend that you run a few test files with your own content and take an average to get a better idea.
