Multi select can be done in two ways.
Using our native multi select (supported from 5.6.0)
First select an asset, minimize the composer and select again
Adding Videos are supported but only mp4 (since Hootsuite Iframe API has limitations)
Selecting a video will result in an actually uploading the video to Hootsuite
If something fails in that process then the video will be downloaded and you can follow this process:
The Hootsuite composer will be opened immediately after
Drag & drop the video from your download-bar in your browser to the composer.
When a post has been scheduled you can utilize all features of Hootsuite and the planner to see your posts.
