Sharing files, images, and links

Three ways to add an image:

  • Drag an image onto the chat window.
  • Paste one from your clipboard into the composer.
  • Click the + button next to the composer and choose Image or video to pick one from your device.

A preview thumbnail appears immediately; the image uploads in the background.

Recipients see the image inline at its natural size, with a lightbox click-through for closer inspection.

Click the + button next to the composer and choose GIF, Sticker, Clip, or Meme. They all open the same picker — the one you choose just decides which tab it lands on, and you can switch tabs once it’s open.

  • GIFs and memes insert inline, like an image.
  • Stickers have transparent backgrounds, so they sit on the message rather than in a box.
  • Clips are short videos. They play muted and on a loop, and they hold still instead if your device is set to reduce motion.

Start typing to search, or pick one of the category chips to browse. Search results come from KLIPY.

Anything you pick here is flagged so it doesn’t clutter the Files tab — it’s reactive content, not shared media.

Drop or paste any file type — PDFs, ZIPs, audio clips, character sheets, anything — into the chat window. Files other than images and videos render as a small paperclip chip with the filename; click the chip to download. The composer keeps the chip selectable so you can add a caption or delete it before sending.

Pasted files are images and videos only, on purpose — pasting a copied file path from Finder or Explorer shouldn’t accidentally upload a mystery file. Drag-and-drop accepts every type. (The + → Image or video picker takes images and videos — drag other files onto the window.)

File chips show up in the Files tab’s “Other” list rather than mingling with images and link previews.

Drop, paste, or pick a video file (+ → Image or video) the same way you would an image. It uploads in the background and sits in the composer as a paperclip chip with the filename. Once sent, everyone sees a video player with the usual controls — play, pause, scrub, volume, fullscreen — and a small download link under it.

  • Videos can be up to 50 MB. Anything larger is refused with a message naming the limit, and the rest of what you dropped still uploads.
  • An uploaded video plays only when someone presses play, and with sound. It is not a clip: a clip from the media picker is a muted, looping reaction; a video you upload is something to watch.
  • Shared videos are listed in the Files tab with the other files.

Paste a YouTube link (a watch link, a Short, or a youtu.be short link) or a Vimeo video link and, instead of a preview card, the message shows the video’s poster with a play button. Nothing loads from YouTube or Vimeo until someone presses play, and a Watch on… link in the corner opens the original. A link copied “at current time” starts from that point.

Paste a URL into a message and PostRoll fetches the page’s preview details, then renders a preview card under the message: title, description, image, site name. The card replaces the raw URL once the preview loads (a moment or two).

For internal links — wiki pages, entities, scenes from your own worlds — you get a richer in-app card instead.

Open the details panel (right rail in fullscreen, or the expand button in embedded mode) for the conversation:

  • Files — every image, audio clip, and file shared in the conversation. GIFs, stickers, clips, and memes picked from the media panel are deliberately left out.
  • Links — every URL shared, grouped by domain.

Both tabs are searchable and date-sorted so you can find that “map of the city” someone dropped weeks ago.
