Orbit automatically detects the type of resource you're adding based on the content you provide. Each type has its own display format and capabilities.
Files
Upload any type of file — PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, and more. Large files are supported, with upload size limits depending on your plan (see the pricing page for details).
Files are stored securely and served via authenticated download links. When users view a file resource, they see the resource page with a download button.
Supported formats include: PDF, Word (.doc, .docx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), images (PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG), ZIP archives, and many more.
Videos
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL and the video is embedded directly on the resource page with a responsive player. Orbit automatically detects video URLs and converts them to the correct embed format.
When you add a video, the title, description, and thumbnail are automatically retrieved from the video platform.
Over 300 additional embed providers are supported via the oEmbed protocol, including TikTok, Loom, Wistia, Spotify, SoundCloud, and many more.
Links
Paste any URL to create a link resource. Orbit automatically fetches the page title, description, and preview image (from Open Graph tags or by scanning the page).
Link resources display a preview card with a button to visit the external site. This is useful for curating external articles, tools, or reference material for your members.
Interactive Apps
Looking for interactive web applications — calculators, dashboards, quizzes, and more? These are now a dedicated feature called Tools. See Tools for details, or the Tools developer guide for technical integration documentation.
