On the subject uploading page in more than one place, we use wording stating 'subject images'. However we don't only support 'images', we support lots of media resource for subjects as outlined in the supported file extensions.

Non-technical folks may not understand the extension formats and get the wrong impression that we only support 'images'.

We can change the wording on this page to better convey what media types we support for subjects.

Furthermore, an audit of supported file types (and specifically video encodings) would be a good addition to this effort. For context, Pmason states that the current list is incomplete (https://www.zooniverse.org/talk/17/1327999?comment=2163307) and this would be good to confirm and to update in response.

MDN has a good guide to browser support for common media types. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/Containers
