      Manage photos & videos with COLLECTIONS

      Collections is the name of our platform's digital asset manager. It's a section of the platform that lets you store your images and videos. With Collections, content creators can collect and manage original or generated assets that can be easily added to any content experience.

      Why use Collections?

       

      CONNECT GLOBAL TEAMS

      Collections allows dispersed teams to share assets in a central space and publish them easily to a stream.

      AUTOMATICALLY UPLOAD FROM YOUR AUDIENCE

      Images and videos uploaded by your audience, through a photo contest for example, can be automatically directed to a Collection, which streamlines the process and saves you time!

      PREPARE FOR LIVE EVENTS

      Since live events can be fast-paced, preparing assets in Collections in advance gives you quick access to content when you need it.
