Is it possible to upload sound files to the gateway and store them there instead of on the local machine? This is in Vision. I don't know if the WebDev module works that way. ---

Sure, and WebDev isn't required. You'd simply use `system.util.sendRequest()` to a gateway message handler to retrieve the sound you want, and return it as bytes. You can hand those bytes directly to [system.util.playSoundClip()](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.util.playSoundClip). If you store your sounds in a database instead of the gateway file system, it is event easier--just use a named query to obtain the bytes from a "blob" column. ---

Thank you! We are working on implementing your suggestions.
