Media collection is an activity that enables users to create galleries (of image/audio/video). The galleries themselves have many display options the user can choose such as displaying in a grid or carousel, and defining the number of items to show per row/column and such.
Each item can have metadata supplied (title, publisher, medium, production date, etc).
When viewing a gallery, selecting an item brings up a lightbox interface that allows the user to view a larger version of the item along with the metadata. Social options are also visible in the lightbox interface (liking & commenting).
Sets
This plugin is part of set Media gallery.

Thank you very much
What might be missing to cause this?
Unfortunately the features you describe from their website are part of a bespoke solution they have - they have an entire media platform separate to Moodle that the plugin is customised to integrate with for them - the timeline comments functionality comes from that separate service.
a colleague is getting an error message when trying to set up a new gallery " Too many galleries, please delete or change collection type ", there is currently only one gallery on the specific moodle page - the upload limit is set to 600mb. This is a 3D design course so lots of galleries will need creating. I'm struggling to see a problem with the set up of the gallery - anyone have any clues?
cheers
It depends on which mode the collection is in, and if a limit on the number of galleries allowed has been set.
That particular error message shows up when the collection is set to "Single" mode - which is intended for just one gallery in the collection total.

There is not currently a way to add custom metadata, sorry.
