Media API

BrowserStack provides support for the uploading media files for testing

Its easy to test scenarios that require device to be setup with sample media, so that it’s available to your application during test execution.

How to use the media files in tests

2. Set media_url value depending on the automation framework you are using:
   • Appium: Set value in browserstack.uploadMedia capability in your script. Learn more about uploading your own media files in Appium
   • Espresso: Set value in uploadMedia parameter in the REST API request to start Espresso test execution. Learn more about uploading your own media files in Expresso
   • XCUITest: Set value in uploadMedia parameter in the REST API request to start XCUI test execution. Learn more about uploading your own media files in XCUITest
