To provide a better course learning experience for students, we aim to improve the audio quality. Currently, elink supports audio uploads of up to 500MB and is compatible with mp3 (recommended) and m4a audio formats.


Through testing and research, some merchants have reported the following audio issues:

Common audio issues:Unable to play on WeChat, audio resources unavailable, audio file transcoding not completed after a long time


Most of these problems are due to issues with the original recorded files,such as audio file format incompatibility with the player (e.g., WeChat player), outdated audio formats, corrupted recorded files, or only changing the file extension without actually converting the format when changing the file format.elink recommends the following solutions for video transcoding for your reference:
