Tap Add a photo not available

I tried to add or video to many particular places from my android device. The problem is tap Add a Photo not available on any particular place, when i scroll down. And, adding video to any place is also not available too. How to solve this problem? The location is Mawlamyine, Mon State, Myanmar - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mawlamyine+University/@16.4377078,97.652022,16.5z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x30c2a85438d0520f:0xcd4ee5f2de51606c!2sMawlamyine+University!8m2!3d16.4384955!4d97.6537164!3m4!1s0x30c2a85438d0520f:0xcd4ee5f2de51606c!8m2!3d16.4384955!4d97.6537164

Post the map link of that place may be then solution can be offered.

Hi @mehmrattna ,

Thanks for reaching out.

As far as I checked the POI’s address, a photo can be added now. Please, see the screenshot:

Please, confirm if you’re still facing this.

By the way, I’ve moved your post to the more appropriate section How tos, because what you’ve posted is not an idea.

Dear google moderator,

Thank you very much for answer. However, I still face the same problem. I’m a local guide almost reaching level 7. Tap “Add A Photo” is not visible in my android device. And, the following message “Sorry! we could not import your photo to maps, please try again later” is shown when I tried to upload any video of a place.

Thank you @mehmrattna , for your answer.

I would like to ask one more question. Are you facing the same on a desktop?

Tap “Add a photo” is visible in desktop but could not add video to maps.

Hi @mehmrattna ,

Please follow the bellow listed tips:

How to create a video when you’re at a place:

  • Search and select a place on Google Maps
  • Scroll down and tap “Add a photo”
  • Tap “Camera” and hold the shutter button for up to 10 seconds

How to upload a video you’ve already shot:

  • Search and select a place on Google Maps
  • Scroll down and tap “Add a photo”
  • Tap “Folder” and select a video. Only the first 30 seconds of a video can be added.
