title: Media Reporting
---
The [media_reporting.py](https://github.com/clearml/clearml/blob/master/examples/reporting/media_reporting.py) example
demonstrates reporting (uploading) images, audio, and video. Use [`Logger.report_media()`](../../references/sdk/logger.md#report_media)
to upload from:
* Local path
* BytesIO stream
* URL of media already uploaded to some storage
ClearML uploads media to the bucket specified in the ClearML configuration file. You can configure ClearML for image
storage using [`Logger.set_default_upload_destination()`](../../references/sdk/logger.md#set_default_upload_destination)
(note that [artifact storage](../../clearml_sdk/task_sdk.md#setting-upload-destination) is handled differently).
Set the storage credentials in the [clearml.conf file](../../configs/clearml_conf.md#sdk-section).
ClearML reports media in the **ClearML Web UI** **>** task details **>** **DEBUG SAMPLES**
tab.
When the script runs, it creates a task named `audio and video reporting` in the `examples`
project.
## Reporting (Uploading) Media from a Source by URL
Report by using the `url` parameter of [`Logger.report_media()`](../../references/sdk/logger.md#report_media):
```python
# report video, an already uploaded video media (url)
Logger.current_logger().report_media(
'video', 'big bunny', iteration=1,
url='https://test-videos.co.uk/vids/bigbuckbunny/mp4/h264/720/Big_Buck_Bunny_720_10s_1MB.mp4'
)
# report audio, report an already uploaded audio media (url)
Logger.current_logger().report_media(
'audio', 'pink panther', iteration=1,
url='https://www2.cs.uic.edu/~i101/SoundFiles/PinkPanther30.wav'
)
```
The reported audio can be viewed in the **DEBUG SAMPLES** tab. Click a thumbnail to open the audio player.
## Reporting (Uploading) Media from a Local File
Report by using the `local_path` parameter of [`Logger.report_media()`](../../references/sdk/logger.md#report_media):
```python
# report audio, report local media audio file
Logger.current_logger().report_media(
title='audio',
series='tada',
iteration=1,
local_path=os.path.join('data_samples', 'sample.mp3')
)
```
The reported video can be viewed in the **DEBUG SAMPLES** tab. Click a thumbnail to open the video player.
