Sharing video is best accomplished by using a video service such as YouTube or Vimeo. This approach offers two key benefits: it saves disk space and leverages content delivery networks that make streaming video very easy.
Methods for Sharing YouTube Videos
You can share YouTube videos in two ways:
- Components - YouTube Section: Use this section type to automatically display videos from a YouTube channel.
- HTML Embed Code: Insert an "Advanced - HTML Code" section and place the embed code from YouTube, Vimeo, or any other video service.
Note: Set the Responsive mode option to 16:9 for better performance across devices.
