How do I add a YouTube or Vimeo video to my page? Follow
It's never been easier to add video to your event page. To get started, copy one of the following from the player where your video is currently hosted.
- YouTube URL.
- Vimeo URL (Note that the video will need to be public, unlisted videos may not work).
- Embed (iframe) code (Requires access to advanced design tools).
At this time, uploading video files (.mov, .mp4) to be hosted directly within Splash is not possible.
How to embed a YouTube or Vimeo video using a Video block:
- Hover over the section of the Splash page you'd like to add the video and click the appearing square "+" button to add a block from the Block Library.
- Click into the Video category.
- Select a video block that you'd like to add.
- On page, hover over the new block and click the Video option that appears.
- In the video editor, replace the placeholder video URL with your YouTube or Vimeo URL.
- Save.
Pro Tip: Take advantage of those additional options to prevent guests from pausing media by hiding video controls or sit back and relax knowing your media will be on a continuous loop while your guest has your event page open.
