How To Use Media Library (Formerly Asset Library)
The Media library (previously known as the Asset library) is a centralized hub where you can upload, organize, and manage all your media, including images, videos, and GIFs. You can also directly add media from here while creating a social post, making it easy to integrate assets into your publishing workflow. With new folder structures, filters, and classification options, it’s easier than ever to manage creative assets and use them across modules like Social.
Navigation
Go to ‘Settings,’ select 'Knowledge Graph,' and click ‘Media library.’ All media uploaded across Birdeye modules will be available here.

- Use folders by campaign, brand, or type to keep media organized.
- Social posts do not yet support carousel uploads (multiple images + video at once).
