Drag & Drop the Emedia Library Picker button from the Available section to the Active Buttons area.

Then in the bottom section Enabled Filters, disable the setting: "Restrict images to this site" this way all images you select from the remote eMedia Library will be able to be displayed in your Content.

Save your configuration and go to edit a Content record you will see the Tool bar icon, that will open your eMedia Library instance.

In this Modal window you can use all the tools and fetures of your eMedia Library, you can Search, Upload, Customize Metadata or use the AI Tool to include Media in your Drupal Body Content. Hover any asset and you will see a button to select the specific media to be included.
