Upload my own Video

We don't currently have a tool that allows you to upload your video and play it on your Yola site. But I can suggest an alternative: upload your video onto another website like Youtube or Metacafe and then add one of those widgets to your page on Yola and browse for your uploaded video. 

To add a video to your page, follow these few simple steps: 

  1. Open the "video" folder on the right hand side of the screen and drag and drop a Youtube or Metacafe icon onto your page.
  2. In the "Properties" sidebar on the right, click on the "browse" link.
  3. Browse Youtube or Metacafe for the video you want to embed in your site. 
  4. Copy the URL for the video from your browser window. 
  5. Paste the URL over the default URL in the properties sidebar in Yola. Hit "Enter" and then click "Apply". 

Your video will then be embedded in your web page.
