Pictures and video

1. 1

   1. Put the caret in the post the picture belongs to, and press Add image or video in the tools under it.

2. 2

   2. Pick Upload from your device, or Choose from Buzzmark.

3. 3

   3. In Choose from Buzzmark, pick Hive for the product photos of the Buzz's Hive profile, or Library for the pictures Buzzmark keeps for you, every picture made with Buzz among them.

4. 4

   4. Tick the pictures and press Add 2 pictures. The count follows your ticks, up to the room left in the post.

You can also paste a picture or a video into the post with ⌘V (Ctrl+V on Windows). Drag a picture to reorder it, or press Alt and an arrow key. Press one to see it larger, and press its × to remove it. A video plays in the same view, muted until you turn the sound on.

The composer takes JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF pictures up to 10 MB, and MP4 or MOV video up to 1 GB. A video goes out on its own: one per post, with no pictures beside it. A post with a poll carries no pictures.

Platforms can be stricter, and each one has its own number of pictures per post. Posting rules by platform lists them. A file a platform won't take gets an orange ring and a badge with the reason, and the send stops and says why until you swap the file or untick that platform.

1. 1

   1. Press Make a picture with Buzz beside the photo button.

2. 2

   2. Under Buzz's ideas, press one of the 3 pictures Buzz suggests from your post and your Hive profile, and Buzz makes it. Press Other ideas for 3 more.

3. 3

   3. Or open Your words, describe the picture, and press Make it. Buzz adds your Hive colours to it.

A picture takes about a minute, and you can keep writing meanwhile. It lands in the post your caret was in, and in your Library. If you've moved on to another Buzz by then, it stays in the Library. When an idea shows one of your Hive's products, Buzz uses your own photo of that product, so the picture shows the real thing. Buzz picks the picture's shape from the platforms the Buzz goes to, and pictures made with Buzz say Made with AI where they show.

Each picture Buzz makes uses 1 credit from your organization's month, whether you make it in the composer or with Make the picture on a take in Ideas. A picture that fails, or that the image model turns down, isn't counted. Credits start again on your billing day, and the panel's foot says how many are left.

Some platforms post a picture but don't show it whole: TikTok puts bands around a picture that isn't 9:16, for one. The composer marks such a picture Tall or Wide and says under the pictures what each platform will do. It's a tip, and the Buzz still sends. A shape a platform refuses outright, like a very tall picture in Instagram's feed, stops the send until you change it.

1. 1

   1. Press Frame it in the tip.

2. 2

   2. Drag the picture until what matters sits inside the frame. Pinch, scroll or use Zoom to size it, or the arrow keys to move it.

3. 3

   3. On TikTok or a story, switch on Show what TikTok puts on top, named after the platform, to see where its tabs, caption and buttons go. They never land on the picture.

4. 4

   4. Press Use this frame.

Buzzmark cuts a copy into your Library and gives that platform its own version of the Buzz with the copy in it. Your original never changes. To leave the platform out instead, press Skip TikTok for this picture, named after the platform, and its accounts come off the Buzz.
