# Raid Media

Raid Media allows group admins to customize the visual appearance of their raid messages, enhancing the look and feel of their community’s engagement efforts. Both **Lock Raids** and **Unlock Raids** can have unique images attached to them, making each raid visually distinctive and aligned with the project’s branding.

**How to Change Raid Media:**

1. **Start a Raid**: Begin by typing **/raid** in the group’s Telegram chat. This will initiate the raid setup.
2. **Access Settings**: Once the raid setup menu appears, click the **/settings** button.
3. **Choose Raid Type**: Select whether you want to change the media for a **Lock Raid** or an **Unlock Raid**.
4. **Upload an Image**: Follow the prompts to upload a custom image or video file (.gif) for the selected raid type. Make sure the image fits the format and quality requirements for optimal display.
5. **Save Changes**: Confirm your selection, and the new image will now be used for future raid messages of that type.

Customizing raid media helps reinforce project identity and adds a polished, professional touch to each raid, encouraging more engagement from the community.
