Photos

I’m not sure if everyone has noticed or not but since the update and the announcement of the guiding stars 2022. When you are adding photos you now have the option to record a video and upload it.

Thank you for all the wonderful information you shared.

Have I tried what?

@Babygirl22

It would be beneficial if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply. Hitting Reply does not ensure we get notified by email.

Have you used the new feature to add videos to reviews and make then from within Google Maps?

Cheers

Perfect tagging, thanks.

My question is slightly a trick question. Since I have not yet seen the new feature you mentioned. So I was just curious about if it was actually available and if so, how it works. Share some screenshots if it works for you. Often Google will roll out new features stepwise. So maybe you got lucky to see it first.

Cheers
