# Use stock pictures and video

> Connect your own free key for Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay or Coverr, then pick their pictures and video in any activity.

The picture and video box in every activity has a **Stock** tab. It searches free stock services with your own key, so the service's limits are yours and nobody else's. Your organisation does not need to set anything up.

## Connect a service

1. Go to **Account › Integrations** and find **Stock pictures and video**.
2. Read **What connecting it means** under the service. Each one has its own licence and limits, for example how many searches an hour a free key allows.
3. Press **Connect**, follow the link to make a free key on the service's developer page, and paste it into **Key**.
4. Press **Connect**. The row says **Connected**. Taktyl never shows the key again.

| Service | Pictures | Video |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pexels | Yes | Yes, on the same key |
| Unsplash | Yes | No |
| Pixabay | Yes | Yes, on the same key |
| Coverr | No | Yes |

**Disconnect** removes your key. Pictures and video you already placed stay where they are.

## Use a stock picture or video

1. Wherever an activity takes a picture or a video, press **Choose from the library**, then **Stock**.
2. If you connected more than one service, choose it. Type what you are looking for.
3. Press a result. Its address goes into the field, and for a picture the service's own description, when it has one, goes into the description box. Read it and change it.

A stock result is linked from the service's site, not copied into your library. Pixabay asks that pictures you keep are not linked permanently: download one you mean to keep and add it to your **Asset library**.

If the search says it could not load, the service is not answering: try again in a moment. If it says nothing was found, try another word.
