Adding Videos

Adding Videos to Your Section

Content management system (CMS) users cannot upload video files directly into the T4 CMS Media Library. All videos must first be uploaded to a video hosting platform such as YouTube or Vimeo (external) before adding it to a webpage. For General content editing, the video can then be embedded on the webpage using the HTML editor in the CMS:

How to Embed a YouTube Video

1. Go to the YouTube video you want to embed: https://www.youtube.com/
2. Under the video, click SHARE.
3. Click Embed. From the box that appears, copy the full HTML code, from <iframe width.... to </iframe>
4. In the CMS General Content type under the formatting options, select Tools > Source code.
5. Paste the HTML code into the main body in HTML view.
6. The video will automatically resize in width based on the device so there is no need for you to adjust the width and height.   
7. Select Save. Your video will now appear in the HTML editor, indicating that you have successfully embedded your video.

How to Embed a Vimeo Video

1. Go to your Vimeo video library. Select the three vertical dots on the bottom right corner of the video you want to embed.
2. Alternatively, you can go to your video's individual page.
3. Then click the Share icon.
4. The sharing modal will pop up. Select the “Embed” tab. 
5. Click the “Copy embed code” button and then copy/paste the HTML code into the main body in HTML view.

Video Content Types

A Video embed content type is also available on request that allows heading and text to be left-aligned or right-aligned next to your video. 

The 3 Box Video also accommodates videos embedding functionality.
