Using Vidigami's default Uploader, you can contribute photos and short video clips of up to 30 seconds in length, as long as you have the Contributor role (or higher).
To start uploading media, first navigate to a Group or Album within the Group. Uploads can be made from both these levels:
1 - Upload Media into an Album
To upload photos to a specific album, navigate to that album and select the green Upload icon on the top right corner of the page.
This action will open the Uploader.
You can drag and drop media from a file manager, or, open your file browser or manager to search for media on your computer. You will see a progress bar as media is added to Vidigami.
Reminder: Vidigami will only accept certain file formats and sizes. See what media file types and sizes are accepted in the Uploader.
2 - Batch Upload Media into Multiple Albums
To upload photos to multiple albums, navigate to a Group, which will display the same green Upload icon at the top right corner of the page.
This time, the Uploader will display all existing albums within the Group. Just as you would for an Album, you can drag and drop media into each album, or select Add Media under each album to upload photos.
Reminder: Vidigami will only accept certain file formats and sizes. See what media file types and sizes are accepted in the Uploader.
As media is uploaded, the progress bar for each album will appear. You can select the album to check the progress in more detail.
When complete, you can always choose to Add More content, or simply close the window to return to the album.
Tip: Once an upload has begun, it will continue in the background. You can open multiple Uploaders for different albums simultaneously to save time, while navigating elsewhere in Vidigami.
Managing Permissions
Reminder: all users with the Contributor or higher role have the ability to upload media.
If you would like to customize this permission for specific users, you will need to toggle the Upload Media permission within a specific Custom Role under the Roles tab in the Admin Panel. You must then assign that role to those select users whom you would like to upload media.
*Understanding the difference between the Insert External, Upload Videos, and Upload Media permissions.
- By default, Vidigami allows all contributors (via the Upload Media permission) to upload short 30 second clips to albums along with photos using the default Uploader (cloud icon). This media is always hosted locally within Vidigami, and visible to only your community.Do not use this uploader to add your long form videos. You can request your CSS to deactivate Clips from this process if required.
- The Insert External permission is enabled by default for all Admins and Managers. This modal is accessed using the same Add Video button (video icon) and can be used to upload any video as long as it is under 5 minutes in length (including 30 second clips). See Insert External Videos.
- The Upload Videos permission is only available if you have requested the ability to add 5 minute videos. This uploader is accessed using the same Add Video button (video icon) and can be used to upload any video as long as it is under 5 minutes in length (including 30 second clips). See Upload Long Videos (5 Minutes).
