Embedded Media

The feature lets you add media content, such as video or audio files, to your pages. This paragraph type is often used for embedding an external video using its URL.

 

Add embedded media

    1. In Main Administrative Menu, navigate to Content.
    2. In the Content Overview table, select a page to add Embedded Media to, and click Edit
    3. Go to the bottom of the Edit template form and select Add Embedded Media from the Add Section dropdown menu.
    4. In the Headline area, enter a name or description text (optional). The Editor menu allows applying a Format and/or Style to the text.
    5. Add an Image, Audio or a Video file. The image is used as a preview file for the video.
    6. Configure Display Options. Choose a Background-Color for the paragraph or leave it transparent. To learn how to add new background colors, refer to Change Look & Feel (2. Background Colors for Paragraph Types).
