  I have uploaded audio on my website, but would like others to be able to download it. When I tried to right click and download it, it did not work and I’m worried others would have the same issue. What do I need to do?

  To do this, you’ll actually want to embed the audio file twice on your site.

  For the first file, you’ll want to select “Embedded Media Player” as shown here:

  This creates the media player that allows readers to play audio files directly from your site. Then, you’ll want to add the file again directly below this embedded player. This time, you’ll want to select “Media File” where we previously selected “Embedded Media Player.” The end result should look like this:

  If readers right-click and save that bottom link, they’ll save the audio file!
