You can add videos via embedding a YouTube or Vimeo link onto your EventCreate website.

To add a video, hover over where you want to add the video and click on the plus icon in the toolbar. Use the popup to add the video link you want to embed.

For Vimeo videos, please make sure the video is public, so that it is viewable by everyone.

For YouTube videos, please make sure to add the full URL format: (ie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TnwttOReIQ not www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TnwttOReIQ)

YouTube autoplay is available, but the setup is a little technical as you need to insert the video embed code via the HTML editor and append the autoplay URL parameter to autostart the video.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Go to the Website Editor and click on Setup > Website.

Step 2: Click on Edit Website.

Step 3: To add a video inline, hover over where you want to add the video and click on the plus sign icon in the toolbar. This will give you an option to add Video, Images, Text, etc. Select Video.

Step 4: Click on the video player for this pop up box to appear:

Step 5: Add in the YouTube or Vimeo link. Make sure to add the full url format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TnwttOReIQ (NOT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TnwttOReIQ)

Step 6: Click “Save and Update”

Step 7: To save changes, click Save Website > Save and Continue Editing
