Adding Images

With ‘One-click’ publishing, adding images to your live event is simple and extremely quick. Images appear directly in the Console, so your readers never have to leave your site during the live event. Below are instructions on how to publish an image during your next event.


Method 1: Preload Images into your Media Library (Demo)
Use this method if you have images loaded into your Media Library before you begin your live event, and/or the image is larger than a thumbnail.

• Step 1: In ‘My Account’ save images into your ‘Media Library’ under the ‘images’ directory. (Do this before you launch your live event).
• Step 2: During your live event, open your ‘Media Library’ and double click the image file. The image will instantly appear for your readers in the window. If the image is large, readers can also click the "Expand" link to view the image at full size.

• Step 1: During your live event, open your ‘Media Library’ and click the "Media Uploader" link located at the bottom of the menu.
• Step 2: Browse to locate your image on your computer or network. Your uploaded file will appear in your Media Library (in the "Uploaded File" folder) where it is available for immediate use.
• Step 3: Double-click the file to publish. The image will instantly appear for your readers in the window. If the image is large, readers can also click the "Expand" link to view the image at full size.

Method 3: Insert Web Images
Use this option ONLY if the image you are publishing is already on the web. This method will insert the image directly in the console stream of text (where it is immediately visible).

For IE users (Demo):

• Step 1: Right click any image from an open web browser window and select ‘Copy’.
• Step 2: Place your cursor in the box text entry box and click ‘Paste’. If done correctly, the image will be perfectly displayed in the text entry box.
• Step 3: If it looks good, click ‘Send’. (If the image is not visible in the box, do not click ‘Send’ as it will not publish properly.) Once published, the image will instantly appear for your readers.

For Firefox users (Demo):

• Step 1: Open a new browser window with the image you would like to publish.
• Step 2: Click on the image and ‘Drag and Drop’ directly into the text entry box in your Console. If done correctly, the image will be perfectly displayed in the text entry box.
• Step 3: If it looks good, click ‘Send’. (If the image is not visible in the box, do not click ‘Send’ as it will not publish properly.) Once published, the image will instantly appear for your readers.
