Uploading Videos to iPads - Backpack?

[mmlee]

Hello,

I've just started a new job and am thus very new to Meraki.

I've been looking into a way of pushing video files to a load of iPads this establishment has.  Is there any way to do this?  I've noticed the backpack feature seems to offer every file type other than video files.

Cheers,

Marcus

You don't use Office 365 or some other offering that includes a storage service like OneDrive - do you?

hmm, we do and I did think about that. 

The reason we'd like them directly on the iPads is because they're used for exams and there can be over 200 devices (plus anything in their pocket) connected to a single access point because all the students would be in one big room.  I have a feeling bandwidth would be tight and I'd imagine waiting for a video to stream/download during an exam wouldn't be ideal(!)

I guess we'll have to go back to iTunes and sync each device manually 😕

I would upload it and get a share link. Then asking the link as a Web Clip.
