Add the Media Gallery widget to your community to enable
members to share multimedia content with the rest of the community.
Before you begin
You must be a community owner to add a media gallery to a
community. A community can only contain one media gallery.
About this task
Adding a media gallery to a community provides a dedicated
multimedia space where members can upload and view photos and videos
that are relevant to the community.
When you add a media gallery
to your community, the Media Gallery widget is added to the community's Overview page.
As community members start to add content to the media gallery, the
widget displays a selection of thumbnail images of that content. A Media
Gallery link is also added to the navigation sidebar,
allowing members to access the full set of multimedia content in the
community.
Procedure
To add a media gallery to your community, complete the
following steps.
Note: If the default content type does not exist when
the widget is added to a community, an error message displays indicating
that the files cannot be displayed. Contact your administrator.
