Embedding Videos from Third-Party Services

Video URLs from YouTube and Vimeo are the simplest way to add third-party videos to your site. For advanced options or other video services, use embed codes.

Video URL Method

• Copy the video URL from your browser's address bar
• Supported platforms: YouTube and Vimeo
• YouTube URLs must contain: youtube.com/watch, youtube.com/playlist, or youtu.be
• Best for standard video embedding

Embed Code Method

• Works with additional services (Wistia, Animoto)
• Compatible with:
  • Embed blocks
  • Gallery blocks
  • Gallery pages
  • Cover page layouts (v7.0)

Important Notes:

• Live stream URLs must include youtube.com/watch or youtu.be
• Playlist URLs require youtube.com/playlist
• Hidden/unlisted videos work if accessible via link
• Live stream availability depends on host settings
• Scheduled videos appear only after their preview time
• 360-degree videos may affect site performance

Compatibility Guide:

1. Background Videos: Embed blocks, Gallery blocks
2. Course Lessons: Video blocks
3. Video Lessons: All block types, Gallery pages, Cover layouts
4. Standard Videos: All supported locations

For optimal performance, use video URLs when possible and embed codes only when advanced features are needed.
