Aurora: About images and video
Most communities enable members to add images and videos to their content. Rich media makes content more visually striking and drives member interest and engagement.
Note:
- Image and video moderation is done in conjunction with content moderation so that inappropriate content is not published to your live site. Learn more about content moderation.
- Copying content from a Google Doc to Khoros Communities is unaffected by the document's ownership since these are separate applications. However, for images in the content, the community first stores them in its storage, requiring access to the original resource. If the Google Doc is not publicly accessible (i.e., permissions are not set to "Anyone with the link"), the image links will be blocked for users in the community.
While writing content, members can add images and videos by:
- Clicking the Insert Media button in the Content Editor toolbar
- Dragging and dropping images or videos directly into the Content Editor
- Copying and pasting images and videos via the clipboard
Inline image editing
When writing or editing content with embedded images, you perform several quick editing actions.
While editing your content, you can click an image to access the sizing controls. Click the small, medium, or large options to choose the image size that best fits your space.
Note: You can use the Content Editor toolbar to indent or align the image within the column.
Tip: Center-align images in the column to prevent text from wrapping around the image.
You can also add a caption for your image, which displays below the image.
Finally, you can click the person icon to add Alternative text that describes the image for the visually impaired.
Image Viewer
When viewing content in a piece of content, you can click any image to view it in the image preview pane.
Use the left and right arrows to scroll through any other images in the post. Click the Download option in the top-right corner of the viewer to download a local copy of the image.
Banner images for blogs
Aurora communities enable you to add banner images to blog posts. You can create and upload your own image or find an image in an online library, powered by Unsplash.
