How do I attach an image, a video or a PDF to a content post?

Open the post, or click New post. In the Media box, click Upload files or drop files on it. For a big video, paste a public link and click Add link. Then save. Metricool gets the files when you schedule.

What you will need

  • Content switched on.
  • A post you can edit. New posts take media too.
  • Files of 25 MB or less. Put a bigger file on Google Drive, Dropbox or your site and paste its link.

Steps

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Open Content. Click New post, or open a post from the calendar.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    In Media, click Upload files. Pick one file or many. You can also drop them on the box.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    To use a link, paste it in the link box. If SalesCrew cannot tell the type, pick Image, Video or PDF. Click Add link.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Use the arrows to set the order. The first file comes first in a carousel.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Type alt text for each image. Answer AI-made? for each video.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    To set a video cover, add a JPG or PNG and set it to Video cover.
