When embedding media assets from other content types and entity types, we have the option to display them rendered, in which case we have to select the required view mode. In this exercise we’ll explore how Display modes in the Media type Image link to the Image styles.

  1. Navigate to Structure → Media types → Image.

  2. Explore the primary tabs of Manage fields and Manage form display. The user interface is almost identical to the content types.

  3. Go to the Manage display tab.

  4. Explore the available display modes, paying attention to the advanced configuration of the Image field.

    1. Default

    2. Featured

    3. Landscape

    4. Media Library

    5. Square

    6. Thumbnail
