Send pictures, videos, and files to a group discussion or a chat

If your administrator has enabled the camera and device photo gallery permissions, you can access the device camera, photo gallery, or both to take and send photos from the device photo gallery to the persistent chat discussion that you are a member of or to a recipient in a chat. You must join group discussions or begin a conversation before you can send photos, videos, files, or links to the discussion group or chat. If your administrator did not enable the file sharing feature, the The Add icon opens and displays only the Add Links option.
Note: You can add one photo, video, file, or link at a time from BlackBerry Connect. To send a picture, video, or file in a chat, you must start the conversation with a message that contains only text.
