- Check platform requirements: Know the specs before uploading
Troubleshooting

If an upload fails:
- Check your internet connection
- Verify the file format is supported
- Ensure the file isn't too large
- Try uploading a smaller file or lower resolution
Media Not Appearing

- Refresh the page
- Check your filters (you might be filtering by type)
- Wait a moment—large files may take time to process
Poor Quality Display
If media appears low quality:
- The library shows thumbnails; full quality is used when posting
