Put request in POSTMAN, laravel

I am using the postman for an api creation for my laravel project. I have made POST requesting for uploading the video but now I am trying to make a PUT request.Other things are being updated in the table using it like title and name but I am not able to use any option to upload the file(image) for PUT request.And if I use form-data then nothings happens in this case.

What you need to do is just:

Select POST method
Set _method = PUT in the body of Form-data

If using formdata, add this Key: _method and value: PUT, in the formdata. Then use POST as the request.

NB: This also supports Image uploading, give the key the name you want, then change text to File

In postman, you can simply send a PUT request by changing the Request method near URL Bar.

For uploading files, select "form-data" as input in postman then you will see a panel to enter key-value pairs. Initially, you will notice that both the fields take text as input.

To upload a file from this panel, in the left box (where you are supposed to enter key name) check the rightmost corner. You can see the type of the box and then change it to file.

As soon as you change the key type, the value field will ask you to upload a file.

Edit 1: You can see in the screenshot here, where you need to change it from "Text" to "File"
