Embedding Video

The Video component allows you to embed YouTube videos directly into your page. Choose from several display styles to feature videos on their own or alongside supporting text.

Add a Video

1. Under Sections, select Add Video from the available content components.
2. Complete the fields below to configure your video.

Heading

Optional. Add a heading to introduce the video. The heading appears above the video.

Intro

Optional. Add a short description or supporting text to provide context for the video.

The Intro field supports plain text, including paragraph breaks and automatically linked web and email addresses.

Note: An Intro is recommended when using the Portrait or Side by Side styles to provide accompanying text.

Style

Choose how your video will appear on the page:

• Default: Displays a full-width video.

• Portrait: Designed for vertical videos and YouTube Shorts. Displays the video on the left with supporting text on the right, against a maroon background.

• Side by Side: Displays a 50/50 layout with the video on the left and supporting text on the right.

YouTube ID

Enter the unique ID of the YouTube video you want to embed.

For example, if your video URL is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0LHTWG-UmQ

Enter only: W0LHTWG-UmQ

For YouTube Shorts, select the Portrait style.

Title

Optional. Add a descriptive title for the embedded video. This is used as the video’s HTML title attribute and helps identify the video for assistive technology.

Wallpaper

Optional. Select Add Media to choose a custom image that replaces the video’s default YouTube thumbnail.

Caption

Optional. Add a caption that appears beneath the video.

Legacy Video Options

The Legacy fields support older video embeds and generally aren’t needed when adding a new YouTube video.

• URL: Enter the full YouTube embed URL, such as https://www.youtube.com/embed/W0LHTWG-UmQ.
• Embed: Use the legacy embed field when an existing video requires this method.

For most new videos, use the YouTube ID field instead.

Before Publishing

Preview your page to confirm the video displays correctly, especially when using Portrait or Side by Side layouts. Make sure the video has appropriate captions and that any supporting text provides useful context.
