This is in web browser, but the mobile app seems to function much the same way. Only difference seems to be that you have to go into the media page to click the three dot menu on mobile. As far as I can tell, this is the default UI for Jellyfin.
Thanks. I did miss that one. I was looking for a "Add to this collection" button inside a selected collection.
However I'm not sure if this collection is visible only to a user that created it, or an admin has to create it and it is visible to everyone?
Once you click "Add to collection" it will give you the option to either add it to an existing collection, or create a new one.
