Setting the object types available when adding a media gallery
Set the default selection in the list of object types users can choose from when adding a media gallery to their community. The selection determines whether the media gallery will contain photos only, videos only, or photos and videos. All three options are always available; this property only controls which one is selected by default. For example, if your media galleries will only display photos you could set the default Photos only, and then users won't have to select it when they add a media gallery to their community. This is optional.
About this task
When a user opens their community and clicks Community Actions -> Customize, and then adds a media gallery to the community, they see a dialog. In the Use the media gallery to show section of that dialog they can select the object types they want the media gallery to show: photos only, videos only, or both photos and videos. You can configure the default selection in this list.
