Photos help buyers decide. In MJX Events you can add a gallery to each event, and albums of your earlier events that show on all your event pages.

## Event photos and videos

> [!PATH] My events › your event › Setup › **Photos & videos**

![Photos & videos section of Setup with the Add photos / videos button marked](media/organisers/photos-and-videos-1.jpg "Setup › Photos & videos › Add photos / videos")

"Add photos and short videos from your event. They show on the event page."

### How to add photos or videos

1. Open **Photos & videos** in Setup and tap [[Add photos / videos]].
2. Pick photos or a video from your device. Or, under **Your photos**, tap photos you already uploaded to your other events — "nothing is uploaded again".
3. To add a video by link, paste it under **Or paste a video link** (**YouTube, Google Drive or Vimeo link**).

| Item | Limit |
|---|---|
| Photo | Up to 5 MB each; stored as a smaller copy that still looks sharp on a phone |
| Uploaded video | Up to 50 MB (MP4, MOV, WebM) |
| Photos / videos per event | Set by MJX (by default 30 photos, 2 videos) |
| Pasted links | Up to 20 per event; not counted in the limits |

A pasted video "plays right here on your event page; buyers are never sent to YouTube, and nothing is copied." For Google Drive, share the video as **Anyone with the link**, then copy its link.

### Let ticket holders add photos too

Tick **Let ticket holders add photos too** to allow uploads "from the app, after the event. Off means only you can add them."

### Messages you may see

- "An event can have up to 30 photos. Remove some first."
- "Videos cannot be uploaded right now. Paste a YouTube or Google Drive link of the video instead."
- "Instagram links are not shown here. Add the photo or video itself with Add photos / videos, or paste its YouTube link."

## Past event photos

> [!PATH] Account menu › **Past event photos**

![Past event photos page with Add a past event and the Add album button marked](media/organisers/photos-and-videos-2.jpg "Account menu › Past event photos")

Albums of your earlier events show to buyers as **Past events by [you]** on every one of your event pages (3 albums, 6 photos each, **See all**) and in full on your organizer page. This is on Plus and Pro by default.

### How to add an album

1. Open [Past event photos](~/dashboard/past-events) and tap [[Add a past event]].
2. Fill in **Event name** (e.g. "Garba Night") and **Year**.
3. Either paste a **Google Drive folder link** — "Put the photos in one folder in Google Drive, tap **Share**, choose **Anyone with the link**" — or leave it empty to upload photos instead.
4. Save. "Album added. Its Google Drive photos now show on your event pages."
5. You can also paste a YouTube, Google Drive video or Vimeo link into an album.

| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Drive folder | Must be a folder, shared "Anyone with the link", with photos directly inside (sub-folders are not read) |
| Uploads | JPG / PNG / WebP, stored smaller; a total upload limit per organizer is set by MJX (by default 20) |
| Albums | Up to 30 per organizer |
| Empty album | "No photos or videos yet — buyers will not see this album until it has some." |

**Shown by themselves:** "Your earlier events on MJX Events that have gallery photos are shown to buyers as past events too — nothing to upload again."

When the uploads are used up: "You have used all 20 uploads. Use a Google Drive folder for more."

## Questions people ask

### How many photos and videos can an event have?

MJX sets the limit (by default 30 photos and 2 uploaded videos per event). Setup shows how much room is left, e.g. "12 of 30 photos · 1 of 2 videos". Pasted links don't count.

### Can I add an Instagram reel?

No. "Instagram links are not shown here." Add the video itself, or paste its YouTube link.

### Do my Google Drive photos get copied?

No. The folder must be shared "Anyone with the link"; pictures are shown from Drive when someone looks at them.
