As community owner, you can specify the type of content
that you want the Media Gallery widget to display by editing settings
for the widget. You can also hide the widget or remove it from the
community.
Before you begin
You must be a community owner to hide or remove the Media
Gallery widget, or to set display preferences for the widget. You
must also be logged in to IBM® Connections.
About this task
You can set widget preferences to specify whether the Media
Gallery widget in your community shows only photos or videos, or both.
If the widget is configured to show both photos and videos, community
members can then filter the media gallery by file type. You can also
specify the property templates to use for photo and video content
within the community. Depending on which template you specify, different
attributes might display in the user interface in addition to the
standard attributes when users are uploading and working with media
gallery content.
If you want to remove the Media Gallery widget
from your community temporarily, you can hide it from the community.
You can also delete the widget if you want to remove it from the community
permanently.

click the Actions icon
in the Media
Gallery widget title bar, and select from the menu that displays.
