MelDav Wow yeah I'm surprised at the limited capabilty of the Imagae Gallery. It would be nice if
1. We could have our users upload their own images - the only way I can think to do it is to have the library be dynamic and give them a link to put their photos in - but then there are no image captions. If we use the select image you can add a caption that shows when the image is clicked on but there is no easy way for users to add images! Yipes terrible U/I!
2. Have the captions show in the Dynamic mode using the file name at least. That shouldn't be too difficult.

Christine_Cannavo for what you want to do the image gallery is not the right tool and there are better options available. For example you could have your users add a photo to a list in Lists and format it with a gallery view:
Or, as we do in our company, have a community in Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) for them to upload their photos, and add descriptions etc:

Rob_Elliott thank you for the tips! I will check out those options : ) I just want it to be easy and not require a lot of explaination!
Christine_Cannavo Lists is very easy and so so is Viva Engage, but you've got to be prepared to learn stuff!
I love to learn stuff Rob_Elliott I even found a cool video 🙂
