Manage the Media Gallery widget
As community owner, we can specify the type of content you want the Media Gallery widget to display by editing settings for the widget. We can also hide the widget or remove it from the community.
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.
We can set widget preferences to specify whether the Media Gallery widget in the 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. We can also specify the property templates to use for photo and video content within the community. Depending on which template we 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.
To remove the Media Gallery widget from the community temporarily, we can hide it from the community. We can also delete the widget to remove it from the community permanently.
From the community's Overview page, click the Actions icon 
in the Media Gallery widget title bar, and select from the menu that displays.
- To set preferences for the widget display:
- Click Edit.
- Select an option from the Use the media gallery to show list. We can display photos and videos, photos only, or videos only.
- Select a photo property template.
- Select a video property template.
- Click Save.
- Click Edit.
- To move the Media Gallery widget up or down the Overview page, choose Move Up or Move Down as appropriate.
- To hide the Media Gallery widget, choose Hide and confirm to temporarily hide media gallery content from the community.
When to make the media gallery available again, select Community Actions > Add Apps and select Media Gallery from the Hidden section of the palette. All content is restored.
- To permanently remove the Media Gallery widget, choose Remove and confirm to permanently remove the widget.
Remove the Media Gallery widget does not delete any of the photo or video files uploaded to the community. The media gallery content is still present in the community-owned Files library.
