Adding video to your website brings your online presence to life. You can add pre-recorded video, or a live stream video to engage your fans.

The 'Video' feature allows you to easily integrate videos and live streams from YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitch, and Crowdcast into your website using the video URL.

How to add video to your website

  1. From the 'Edit Content' tab, select 'Add feature'
  2. Select 'Video' from the 'Content' category, and use the placement arrows to set the feature's location

  3. In the 'Video or embeded code' field, paste in one of the following:

    • YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitch, or Crowdcast video URL: You can find this in the address bar of your video page. Make sure the "https://www." portion of the URL is included in the address. This is ideal for a live stream video.
    • Video embed code: Use this option to add an embed code from YouTube or Vimeo. This can be useful for a pre-recorded video with specific settings such as start time, size, or a playlist.
      • Instructions on getting embed code from YouTube: Click here
      • Instructions on getting embed code from Vimeo: Click here
  4. Set the video display size (small / large / full)
  5. Click 'Save'

You can add multiple videos to your website, each one in their own Video feature. Just repeat the steps above per video.

Notes:

  • A YouTube video set to 'private' will not work. It must be set to public or unlisted to be viewable on your website. Unlisted videos will show up on your website, but aren't searchable on YouTube.

  • We currently do not offer the option to upload video directly from your computer. If you would like this feature added, please contact our support team and they will add your request to our suggestions list.
