Create a gallery

About

Administrators can create the main (parent) galleries in the Video Portal via the Management Console (KMC), and the sub-galleries from either the KMC or Video Portal. Once the galleries and sub-galleries are created, they can be edited and managed directly via the Video Portal. As an administrator, you can assign gallery managers to assist with creating sub-galleries and managing the gallery settings. To learn more about galleries, visit our article Understanding galleries.
