Chat Media

Share photos, short videos and documents in your club chats

For clubs and leaguesBeta

The Coaches group chat in the web admin: Laura Kendrick shares a photo of the club's new home shirt laid out on a table, with thumbs-up and heart reactions, and replies from two other coaches.

Highlights

  • Photos and short videos in club chats
  • PDF, Word, Excel and other documents
  • The same safeguarding rules as the chat itself
  • Only people in the chat can open what is shared
  • Uses your club's storage allowance

Some things are easier to show than to type: the new kit, a drawing of a set piece, the minibus timetable. Chat Media lets members share photos, short videos and documents in club chats, in the YourZown app and in the web admin.

What you can do

  • Take a photo from inside the chat, or pick photos and short videos from your phone's library.
  • Attach documents such as PDFs, Word and Excel files, CSV files and plain text.
  • Send several at once, and check them before they go.
  • Keep an eye on space: the Chat Media page in the web admin shows how much your club's chats are using.

Good to know

  • Attachments follow the same safeguarding rules as the chat itself.
  • Only people in the chat can open what is shared there, through links that expire quickly. Remove someone from a chat and they lose access too.
  • Deleting or hiding a message takes its attachments with it.
  • Each file can be up to 10 MB for a photo, 25 MB for a video and 20 MB for a document.
  • Files count towards your club's storage allowance. If you need more room, add a Storage power-up.
