Choose which browsing filters you would like displayed at the bottom of your map (Category, Greater Community Intention, Associated Users, Service/Opportunity).
The selected filters will filter the map video entries selected in the following Content section.
For example, choosing 'Associated Users' would allow the map's video content to be filtered by the users associated with the videos. Greater Community Intention would allow filtering by the videos' intention (ex. Gardening & Permaculture, Party & Celebration, Sharing & Experiencing, etc)
This is how we find the content to display on your map. Note that your map will display ALL options you select in this section (it uses 'AND' as opposed to 'OR').
Choose to display the videos which are attached to your group.
Choose to display videos of a certain Primary Subject Tag.
Choose to display videos created by certain users.
