Solution
Screencast is for sharing images and videos that can be shown, visually, with people that can watch directly on the site.
However, if you have supplementary material, such as a handout to go with your lesson, you can either provide a link to it in the description, or use the attachment feature (Screencast Classic only).
The following file formats can be uploaded to Screencast
