===Using the build tools===
#Right-click the object and choose '''Edit'''.
#Choose '''Select Face''' in the build tools window.
#Click one face of your object.  For example, if your object is a cube, click the side of the cube on which you wish to display your media.
#Click the '''Texture'''  tab of the build tools window.
#Click the '''+''' icon next to the Media URL field at the bottom of the Texture tab.
#In the General tab of the Media Settings window, enter your media's URL in the '''Home URL''' field.
#Click '''Apply''', then '''OK'''.
#Close the build tools window.
 
{{KBcaution|Make sure to apply your media to only one face of the object!  Rendering the same media multiple times can needlessly cause severe performance and bandwidth problems for Residents who view your object.}}
 
===Drag and drop===
You can also drag and drop URLs and favicons from your favorite web browser onto a prim to add Shared Media.

===Next steps===
To start viewing your media, click the media-enabled surface of your object once.  A set of media controls appears, and your media loads.  From this point forward, you can [[Navigating_media_on_an_object|interact with your media]] as though you are viewing it with a standard web browser.
