Upload media

What is this?

With Upload media you add new photos and videos to an existing media album. You can upload single files or whole batches at once — particularly handy after a concert or rehearsal weekend when many recordings need to be brought in together.

The media appears in the album immediately and is visible to all members — for public albums also on the website.

How to upload media

In the web

1. Open the "Media" area and click the album.
2. Click "Upload media" or drag and drop the files into the album.
3. Pick the media in your file browser or just drop them.
4. The upload starts automatically — you see a progress bar per file.
5. Once all are uploaded, they are visible in the album immediately.

In the mobile app

1. Open the "Media" tab and tap the desired album.
2. Tap "Add media" or the plus icon.
3. Allow access to your gallery if not already granted.
4. Pick one or more items — photos and videos.
5. Tap "Upload" — the upload runs in the background.

Recommendations

• Image format: JPG is best, smaller file size at high quality
• Video format: MP4 is universal, MOV also works smoothly
• Size: up to 25 MB per image, up to 200 MB per video, larger ones are compressed
• Resolution: at least 1920x1080 for sharp display on large screens
• Quality: rather a few good recordings than many blurry ones

Permission

You need Create & edit albums & media to upload media. By default choir directors, the board and media administrators have this permission.

Tips

• Sort and pick the best recordings before uploading — quality beats quantity.
• Upload media shortly after the occasion while interest is still high.
• Caption the media right after upload — for example who and what is shown.
