Which are you most likely to join? A Meetup group that has a photo of happy smiling people having a good time, or one with no photo at all?
Meetup Groups that show a photo of their Meetup events and/or a photo of the Organizer attract new members much more easily. Here's how to get those pictures up on your site.
Setting a group photo
- Click Group Settings on the left-hand side of your group's welcome screen
- Click Basic info
- In the Meetup Group main photo section, click Browse to find a photo stored on your computer.
- Click SUBMIT. It may take an hour or so for the photo to appear on your group welcome screen.
Using a photo from an event photo album
You can also use a picture that you or a member has uploaded to a Meetup event photo album.- Click Photos on the left-hand side of your Meetup Group's welcome screen.
- Find a photo you like and click on it. As Organizer, you'll see a link that says Use for group photo. That picture will then appear on your group's welcome screen and in the Meetup.com search results for your group.
Who can upload event photos?
Any member can do so, but each member (including you) is limited to uploading eight photos from any given Meetup event. Only Organizers can set the group photo.
Removing unwanted group images
Members can remove their own photos, and Organizer can take down any photo.
- Click on the unwanted photo.
- Click Delete.
