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:

1. Direct link (YouTube, Vimeo …etc)
2. Custom embed (as HTML/JS code)
3. 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.
