Posting a video, an image, an audio
What each format brings, and how it's displayed.
All three go through the same composer as text. See Creating a post.
What Friym makes of each format
| Format | What Friym does with it |
|---|---|
| Image | One or more images in the post |
| Video | A thumbnail, a duration and dimensions — and entry into the immersive player |
| Audio | A waveform and a duration |
Videos open a player of their own
Tapping a video opens a full-screen player that moves from one video to the next. It remembers where you came from — the feed or a profile — because what comes next isn't the same in each case.
That's what keeps a video being watched after its first play: it enters a chain.
Uploading continues in the background
A video takes a while to upload. The composer closes straight away, the progress bar stays visible in the feed, and you can carry on using Friym meanwhile.
With no network, the upload is queued and goes out on its own. If something got stuck, Friym tells you when you return to the app.
For a product, the photo rules are different
A product listing's photos follow their own rules: 5 maximum, and the first one is the cover. See Creating a product.
If a video doesn't appear straight away
Two system notifications exist for this: "Your video is being processed", then "Your video is ready". While the first is the latest one you received, there's nothing to do but wait.
