How do I add a video to my site?

 

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

  1. Open the "Photo Galleries & 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.

Alternatively, you can easily add a video to your site with a widget from our Widgetbox Gallery, this is how:

  2. A dialog box will open, click on the YouTube category or search for "video" to see all the widgets available. 
  3. Choose the widget you would like to use on your site and customize the settings. 
  4. Click on the green "Get Widget" button and it will be saved and added to your page. 
  5. Save and preview your page to view the widget.
