《Guides for Readers》How do I view media (pictures, gifs, videos) within a story?
Advertisement
Wattpad stories are more than just words; they can also contain pictures and videos to help the story come alive!
To be able to view media in a story, you must have a strong enough internet connection. You will see a grey box if the media has not been downloaded.
There are two types of media:
- header media: pictures and videos at the top of a story
- inline media: pictures and videos in the text of a story
Header Media:
Header Media appears at the top of a story part.
There is a limit of 2 pieces of media in the header: 2 photos/gifs or 1 photo/gif & 1 video.
The number of dots under the image shows if there is more than one piece of media there. On the apps, swipe left to see the other photo/gif or video. On the web, click on the other dot.
Tapping on the image will enlarge it. From here you can also swipe left or right to other media attached within the story in fullscreen.
Youtube media can be viewed by simply tapping the play button. Youtube videos will begin to play natively within the Wattpad app.
Inline Media:
Inline media are photos, gifs and videos in the story text. There is a limit to 20 photos/gifs or videos in the text per story part.
Tapping/clicking on an image will enlarge it; tapping/clicking on a video will start the video.

My Monster Adventurer's Guild
Cless was a girl with a sad fate. Orphaned at birth and born with a misshapen body, she would've died if the Church of the One God didn't take her in. Shunned by society, she grew to the age of fifteen knowing little love. Now it was time to leave the safe haven of the church behind. The day of her rite of passage to adulthood arrived. All humans earn Skills granted by the One God when they pray for guidance during the rite. Skills could go from a lowly G-rank to a powerful A-rank. There was a mythical S-rank Skill in the scriptures but nobody ever earned one. Until Cless' turn came, that's it. The world Cless lives in is a world full of danger. Monsters once prowled the surface and devoured humans. The One God created dungeons to imprison the monsters, but the dungeons are failing, threatening to spill wave upon wave of monsters upon the land. After becoming an adult and leaving the church she was sexually abused by a vengeful classmate and learned how to fight back using her Skill. After that, she went on the fast track to becoming the world's youngest guild master. With her dark heritage dormant, the girl will try to carve her place in the world. However, the kind of company she attracted might not earn her many smiles among her fellow humans.

That means that as of April 3rd you won't be able to read the full book here anymore, instead I will start to publish chapters for Immortality.Download (Book 2) here very soon!

Second Chance
This story starts somewhere in the future. Twenty years before the story begins, a genius scientist created hundreds of machines called the SC-Capsules before he went missing. Nobody alive on Earth knows for sure what the machines do, since anyone who uses them will disappear without any trace, and anyone who tries to disassemble them will be blasted into pieces. Two decades afterward, a dying man tries to escape from death’s grip by doing something that nobody but a desperate man would do. He uses one of the machines… and is transported to another world. He is given another chance, a second chance to live as he wishes… a chance to be a hero… or a villain… or both… or neither… Warning: 18+ due to violence, language, and sexual content on later chapters
