Enabling Media

Media will not be visible on your Player until you enable it

When media is uploaded to a Media Library, it is initially 'disabled', allowing you to make any changes to it you need to before it can be seen by your viewers.

  • Find the media you wish to enable in the Media Library modal
  • Click the button in the 'Enabled' column to enable it.
  • The media will now be enabled. You can disable it by clicking

You can find the 'Enable/Disable All' option in the context menu via the button

Setting Media Duration

By default, an uploaded image will be displayed for 10 seconds before transitioning to the next media item. If only one image is in a Media Library, no transition will take place.

Uploaded videos are initially given a duration equal to the length of the video, showing the whole video before transition to the next media item. If a Media Library only contains one video, the video will loop.

  • Use the number input on the Media item to set a new duration for that item
  • Apply your changes by clicking the button

You can find the 'Set Duration for All' option in the context menu via the button

Deleting Media

  • Find the media item you wish to delete
  • Click the button
  • In the 'Delete Media' modal, click Delete Media

Your media has been deleted
