You can add videos from third party hosts to any block and column of your website. This reviews how to add those videos and style them to your liking.

Embed from a Third Party Source

You can embed videos from a third party source such as Youtube and Vimeo. Hosting and playing video is a very specialized type of hosting, one that requires high speed processes that these services excel at. For this reason, we only host these video players on our site, not direct uploading of the video.

Adding a Video

To add a video, simply click the + on the side to bring up your widgets and scroll down to the "Video" widget. Click and drag that widget wherever you'd like it to go. That will automatically bring up the following dialogue, which you can also access by clicking the video and selecting the "EDIT VIDEO" button.

From here, go to the Youtube or Vimeo video and select the embed code. Copy and paste that in the "Video Source"

Styling Your Video

The main way to style the video is to select the dimensions of the video by clicking the turqoise arrows on the right and bottom of the video. This will scale the video in one direction or another, but may not fit to scale with your original video.


You may also use a custom thumbnail, an overlay of an image over your video to help draw eyes or attention to it. To do this, click the "EDIT VIDEO" button and click "Use custom thumbnail"
