Ideas for Arc XP

Allow Videos and Galleries to show preview images in Collections

We use Videos and Galleries as Basic media often foregoing the need to attach images to stories.

For og:image and other external displays, we do the look up against that media to get the requisite image. Inside of the WebSked however, the images do not appear for these articles with these content types.

It would be great to be able to see the featured images in these previews.

    Per Troy: There is a related issue with Arc IO/RSS feeds, in which images are not displaying in the feeds when a video is attached to an article. When this happens, the Featured Media is set as “video > basic” and removes “image > basic” as a result.

    Hi Michael,

    I know this is a long time coming. We are in the middle of how we might improve Collections across the board so I appreciate having this idea.

    We are looking making these improvements next year so please stay tuned. In the mean time, feel free to reach out to me through your account manager if you have any other ideas or questions.

    Thanks!

    Sr. Product Manager for WebSked
