 After the solution successfully launches, you can start uploading video or image files for processing. The solution sends two emails: one with the subscription confirmation for the Amazon SNS topic to send ingestion, analysis, labeling, and error notifications, and one with instructions for signing into the solution's provided web interface. 

1.  In the **M2CStatus** email, select **Confirm subscription** to subscribe to the Amazon SNS topic. 

1. In the second email, follow the instructions to sign in to the website. You will be prompted to change the password the first time you sign in.

1.  Choose **Sign in** on the upper right corner of the page and sign in using your recently created password. 

1.  Navigate to the **Upload** tab. 

1.  Drag and drop your files to the **Upload Video** box, or choose the **Browse Files** button to upload a video or image file. Once the files are uploaded, choose **Quick upload**, or select **Next** to **Start Upload**. 

    Once the ingestion process is completed, a thumbnail image of the video or image is created. You can hover over the thumbnail image and select **Play now** to view the media file.
