Placing Videos In Your Content

Today, no content is complete without video. Sometimes it's better to show an audience than tell them. Within your Guides, you now have the ability to embed video content from around the web, including popular services like YouTube, and Vimeo. If your video player service of choice has an embeddable application, you can add it directly to your Guide.

We should point out, however, that we are not a video hosting service. If you're adding video to your Guide, you will have to host them somewhere else around the internet.

Adding Video To Your Guide

Adding video content to your Guide is as simple as adding an image to your Guide. Using the WYSIWYG editor, you can select the Insert Video icon in the black bar above your content box (12th icon from the left).

Once the new dialog box has opened, you simply have to past your embed code into the box, and then click the insert button.
