How to add a video to a page
In this article, you will learn how to add a video to a page.
You will need:
a systeme.io account
a page
a video on your computer or a video hosting site (YouTube, Vimeo, or others...)
Go to the page editor and drag the "Video" element onto your page (number 1 in the image).
Click on the "Video settings" icon to configure the video element (number 2 in the image), the video settings will appear on the left side of the page editor (number 3 in the image).
You have 3 options to insert a video:
Direct link (YouTube, Vimeo …etc)
Custom embed (as HTML/JS code)
Upload file (a file hosted on your computer)
Please note that for your video to work properly, 2 important parameters need to be configured:
1. Autoplay: Set this parameter to "on or off", depending on whether the video should play automatically or only when the visitor clicks on the "Play" button.
2. Controls: Set this parameter to "on or off", depending on whether the video should display a control bar with settings to manage sound, video start/pause, subtitle, and display the video in full-screen mode
Important: When choosing the 3rd option for the video type, you will have the option to select a welcome thumbnail image in addition to the two features described above.
Note: When adding a thumbnail image, we recommend using the same dimensions for the image as for the video.
