# Media

We provide a standard set of choosers for media types, including images and video, to make it easy for users to choose media to add to their content. When a chooser definition is included in a content type, the content form user interface allows the user to choose images or video from their media library using a simple media
browser.

The supported media choosers are shown below:

| Chooser | Schema                                                          |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Image   | http://bigcontent.io/cms/schema/v1/core#/definitions/image-link |
| Video   | http://bigcontent.io/cms/schema/v1/core#/definitions/video-link |

## Images

An example property for an image is shown below.

The `allOf` keyword specifies that only an image can be chosen.

```json

"image": {
  "title": "Background image",
  "description": "A background image",
  "type": "object",
  "allOf": [
    {
      "$ref": "http://bigcontent.io/cms/schema/v1/core#/definitions/image-link"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Video

An example video is shown below.

In this case the `allOf` keyword specifies that only a video can be chosen.

```json

"image": {
  "title": "Video",
  "description": "Video used for the banner",
  "type": "object",
  "allOf": [
    {
      "$ref": "http://bigcontent.io/cms/schema/v1/core#/definitions/video-link"
    }
  ]
}
```

## Images and video

If we wanted the background to be _either_ an image or a video, then the `anyOf` keyword can be used and both the image and video choosers specified. The user will then be able to choose a single image or video.

Once the content is saved, the `media` property of this content item will contain a reference to an image or video.

```json
"media": {
  "title": "Background media",
  "description": "The background image or video",
  "type": "object",
  "anyOf": [
    {
      "$ref": "http://bigcontent.io/cms/schema/v1/core#/definitions/image-link"
    },
    {
      "$ref": "http://bigcontent.io/cms/schema/v1/core#/definitions/video-link"
    }
  ]
}
```
