Insert Videos
You can upload videos and play them back with the built in video player, or embed videos from other websites such as YouTube or Vimeo.
Your site has a built-in HTML 5 media player to play video or audio files. The HTML 5 player can play video or audio on mobile devices such as iOS.
Upload a Video in Edit Content
Use your camera, phone or computer to create audio and video files which you can then add to your site.
Supported formats for uploaded videos
We recommend using MP4 video or audio files. MP4 files can be played using any modern browser, smartphone or tablet. Most digital cameras, smartphones and tablets are able to create MP4 video files.
You can use other formats, but they may not be playable by all users or require the Silverlight plugin to view.
