STAR sends images. Everyone can view them.
1

Add images

Drag files into the chat, paste them or press Images. PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF.
2

Build an album

Up to 10 images, up to 4 in a room. More adds, Remove drops one, Remove album drops all. Mistake: Undo.
3

Send

Press Send album. Whatever did not fit is marked: not an image, too big or broken, did not fit the album.

Images in a room

The host picks who may send them in Chat rules -> Images in chat: Members, Moderators or Nobody. Open rooms default to Moderators. The host needs STAR. If members may send, they need STAR too.

Own photo as a backdrop

1

Gear -> Room backdrop -> Own photo

The host with STAR sets the photo. The file uploads, the percent shows on the tile.
2

Next photo in an hour

The tile shows Photo in … with a countdown, then Retry.
Or the From storage tile: an image from your chats on this computer becomes the backdrop. It shares the wait with your own photo. If it says The image is gone, pick another, press Another image. Don’t want to see someone’s photo: the settings icon in the room header -> Hide backdrop, only for you. Show backdrop brings it back. Breaks the rules: Report backdrop.

Storage

Settings -> Chats -> Image storage, or the ring next to New chat above the chat list: 1 GB for your images, group photos and room backdrops. The ring shows how much is used. When STAR ends, you can still view and delete old images, but not add new ones.
