# How can I assign a video or audio file to an existing Sub Channel?

Assigning a video or audio file to an existing Sub Channel can be done through the Video or Audio Archive or through the Channel Manger.

**Option 1: Assigning a video or audio file to an existing Sub Channel through the Video or Audio Archive:**

Click on the left-hand menu "Media" and select either Video Archive or Audio Archive. Click on the video or audio file you would like to assign to a Sub Channel and switch to the "CHANNELS" tab. Now you can assign the video (or audio) to an existing Sub Channel.

**Option 2: Assigning a video or audio file to an existing Sub Channel through the Channel Manager:**

Click on the left-hand menu "Channels" and select either Video On-Demand or Audio On-Demand. Click on the Channel which is hosting the Sub Channel and switch to the "SUBCHANNELS" tab. Select the Sub Channel you would like to assign the video or audio file to and click on "From Archive" on the right corner. Now you can select the video or audio file you would like to assign to the Sub Channel.
