ICloud Question - Photos/Videos

Hello,

I have a question regarding iCloud. How do I upload videos onto my iCloud photos so that they also get sent to my iPad automatically in the photos app? I tried uploading a video on icloud.com but it says that I can only upload JPEG files. Also, I downloaded iCloud for windows, so how can I upload videos and photos from this? I have a folder in my pictures called iCloud Photos ever since I downloaded it, and inside, I have subfolders called Downloaded, Uploaded, and Shared. I am not sure if this helps, but I converted my videos into MP4 format already.

Thanks!

iPad Mini, iOS 9.3.2
