How do I send photos, videos, voice notes, and GIFs?
Send text, photo batches, video, voice notes, and GIFs from the web dashboard or coach app, and know the size limits for each.
The message composer handles text plus four kinds of attachment: photos, one video, a voice note, and GIFs. Everything here works on the web dashboard and in the coach mobile app.
Send a text message
Type in the composer and press Enter to send. On the web, Shift+Enter adds a new line instead. An emoji picker is built into the composer. Recipients get a push notification with the text and their unread badge updates.
Send photos
- Web: open the attach menu and choose photos — pick from your computer or drag and drop into the conversation.
- Coach app: tap the camera button, or the paperclip and then Select Images.
Photos can be JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Each photo in a batch is sent as its own message, and recipients are notified "Sent an image".
Send a video
- Web: open the attach menu and choose video.
- Coach app: tap the camera button to record — recordings cap at 3 minutes — or the paperclip and then Select Video.
It uploads immediately and is processed before it plays, so give it a moment after sending.
Send a voice note
Tap the microphone button on the web or in the coach app. You get a live waveform while recording, and a preview afterwards that you can delete before sending. Recordings stop automatically at 3 minutes. Recipients are notified "Sent a voice message".
Send a GIF
Use the GIF button on the web or in the coach app to open the built-in GIPHY picker with search. The GIF is delivered as an image message.
Things to watch out for
- Photos, videos, voice notes, and GIFs can't be edited after sending — delete and resend instead. Only text messages can be edited.
- Notification previews depend on the type: the message text for text, "Sent an image" for photos, GIFs, and videos, and "Sent a voice message" for voice notes.
