Home Page Video Editor Snippet

 

Use the Video Editor Snippet to easily add a video to your home page in your Home Page Editor. You can find this tool by going to Content > Home Page Editor.

Adding a video to your homepage requires the "Homepage Editor Layout Mode" tool optional module.  For more information see our Home Page Editor article.

You must be a SuperAdmin or Admin with the Content Area role to access this feature.

Adding a New Video

When you enter the Layout mode of the Home Page Editor, navigation box will appear on the left and you can select the type of block you want to add to the page. After selecting "Video" you will be shown the layout options for adding a video. Select the one you would like to use and save your changes in the top right corner. Switch back to the Content Editor to make changes to your newly added Content Block (this is where the actual video will be added). 

  1.  Enter your video URL.  (You can now enter your URL or full embed code).
  2.  Choose whether you want to have a video overlay.  Choosing this option will make your video have a dark transparent layer on top of it.
