| Adding local media | More information on how to add local media to Home Assistant. |
In order to see your local media in your Home Assistant media browser, you'll need to add media to your media folder.
If you haven't set up a local media folder yet, check out this page on setting up the local media source
You can access your (automatically) created media folder using the dashboard. Navigate to the {% my media_browser title="Media > Local Media" %}, and in the top right corner, click manage. Here you can add and delete your media.
Home Assistant OS
If you are running {% term "Home Assistant Operating System" %}, you can also use the Samba add-on. If you haven't installed the Samba add-on yet, you can do so by browsing to the {% my supervisor title="Settings > Add-ons" %} panel. Next, click on the "Add-on store" tab and search for "Samba" and click on it.
On the Samba add-on page, you can find a tab called "Documentation" with the add-on installation and usage instructions. After that, you can copy/move media onto your device using drag and drop in your file explorer.
Other add-ons are available, for example, SSH and others provide access to the media folders as well.
Home Assistant Container
After you have set up a local media folder, you can add any media to that folder you have mounted in.
Your media will show up in the Home Assistant frontend automatically.
