The **Media** tab is where you upload the *Main image* for your Articles, Videos, or Galleries. The *Main image* is the image that will appear as a header (or main media) of your content.

Note that regardless of whether you are creating an Article, Video, or Gallery, you should always choose an image to display as the main image on your website.

![Media panel expanded with no main image: Main image placeholder, Image Description, ](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/article-create/media-panel.png?width=746&name=media-panel.png)

#### Adding main images to posts

To upload the main image for your post, you can either add a new photo(s) or choose from an already existing one in the system.

1. To add a new main image, select the **Upload image** button.
2. To choose from existing images, select **Toggle already uploaded images**.
3. To add a description for your image, fill in the **Image Description** field.

It’s worth mentioning that when you upload multiple images, the description you enter will be for the last image.

When you upload multiple images, the last image will be set to appear as the main image on your website, and the rest will be saved in your image library for later use.

#### Specifics when creating articles, videos, and galleries

Most of the **Media** tab properties overlap for all three main content types, but the use cases vary depending on the type of content you want to emphasize — be that video, a single image, or a gallery of images.

![Choose Main Media dropdown open in the Media panel with the options Video (highlighted), Gallery and Embed video.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/article-create/media-panel-choose-main-media-open.png?width=746&name=media-panel-choose-main-media-open.png)

#### Main media: Articles

When you write and upload a new article to your website, it normally has a single image as the main media.

However, as many different use cases exist, the Sportal365 CMS also lets you use a short video or a gallery as the main media of your article.

To do that, open the **Choose Main Media** box and select **Video** or **Gallery** to search for an existing video or gallery to add, or **Embed video** to add a video with its embed code.

Note that even if you use a video as the main media of your article, the emphasis still remains on the quality of the article body — the video is normally short and plays a supportive role.

When you select **Embed video**, a **Video embed** box appears below **Choose Main Media**. Paste the embed code of the video there:

![Media panel with Choose Main Media set to Embed video, showing the Video embed box (](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/article-create/media-panel-embed-video.png?width=746&name=media-panel-embed-video.png)

#### Main media: Videos

When you create videos, the **Media** tab is where you not only add the main image to your video, but you actually add/create your video.

Note that the image you add as the main for your video will be the thumbnail of your video.

To add a new video:

1. Select **Media** -\> **Choose Main Media** -\> **Embed video**.
2. Paste the embed code of the video in the **Video embed** box.

As an alternative, if your project uses the Dugout integration, you can add a video by using the **Search Dugout videos** option below the **Video embed** box.

#### Main media: Galleries

You will notice that when you create galleries, the **Media** tab doesn’t contain the **Choose Main Media** box the way it does for articles and videos.

When you create a gallery, the emphasis is on the quality of images in the gallery. Also, if you upload multiple images, the last uploaded image will appear as the main image (opening/header image) of your gallery.
