Managing your Media Library

Breakroom's Media Library feature helps World Owners and World Administrators keep event images and videos organized. Learn how to upload, delete, and tag media elements straight from your browser.

Overview

Pictured: The Dashboard > Media Library tab.

As you build and refine your Breakroom event space, it's likely that you'll upload images and videos using various in-world tools. The Media Library tab on the Dashboard allows World Owners and World Administrators to view their media collections at a glance, upload media for in-world use, delete unneeded files, and tag files for improved organization.

The Media Library is account-bound, meaning that each user will be able to see and manage only media files that they have uploaded. Only World Owners and World Administrators can access the Dashboard. When planning your event, it may be wise to create a team continuity plan to ensure that important media files are uploaded on multiple accounts.

Uploading images and videos

Using the Media Library management tab, you can upload images and videos to Breakroom straight through the Dashboard. These media files will appear in your in-world Image Library, where they can then be deployed when setting up tools like the Breakroom Image Viewer and Breakroom Teleport Portals.

To upload an image or video files through the Dashboard, follow these steps.

1. Navigate to your Dashboard.
2. Click on the Media Library tab, and then click the Upload Image/Video button.

3. In the panel that appears, click the Select button. This will launch a standard file import window on your computer.

4. Locate the file you want to use and click on it. Then click the Open button. Once your image or video has been uploaded, you will see it appear as a preview thumbnail.

5. Add an image title, description, and tags if you like.

6. Click the Confirm button to save your file.

Naming and tagging your files makes it easy to search for them using the search field located at the top of the tab. You can also use the media type drop-down menu to narrow your search by file type.

Viewing files

All of your uploaded image and video files appear as thumbnails under the Media Library tab. Clicking on a thumbnail will open the file detail window. There you can use the Zoom slider to zoom in and out, or move the image around the preview window by clicking and dragging your cursor.

Editing files

Clicking the Edit link in the file detail window will open the Edit Image/Video panel. Here you can edit the file type, title, description, and tags. You can also replace the file by clicking on the thumbnail. When you're satisfied with your changes, click the Confirm button.

Replacing a file with a new upload on the Media Library tab will not automatically replace the original image if it is displayed in-world. You will still need to manually delete or edit all uses of the image.

Deleting files

To delete a file, first click on its thumbnail in the Media Library tab. You can then click the Delete link in the file detail panel.

Deleting a file from the Media Library tab will not erase that image from in-world displays. You will still need to manually delete or edit all uses of the image.

Sharing files

You can share uploaded files with users outside the Breakroom platform by clicking the Copy URL button in the file detail panel.
