==== Easy proxies ====

Immich supports video &amp; image proxy files. Proxies are photos &amp; videos that are further compressed. They are lower in quality, but their smaller size allows you to load them faster when you’re on a poor internet connection. I use a google pixel, so this is handy. Google pixels have horrible cellphone service &amp; reception because Google is too stubborn to use Qualcomm modems. Google decided that its users care more about [https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1etk3l6/nothing_makes_me_less_excited_about_pixel_than/ lame AI features] than [https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/x61kee/today_i_have_measured_just_how_bad_my_pixel_6s/ having working cell service]; This is where image proxies &amp; video proxies come in handy.

'''Nextcloud''' allows image proxies(with config file editing; ew). Immich allows both ''image'' AND ''video'' proxies, so high bitrate videos can still be loaded &amp; viewed on slow internet.
