It is possible to add a video to a tile.

For all media, the first step is to select the Insert/Edit Media button in the Content editor section of the Create tile drawer to open the Insert/Edit Media window as follows:

content-editor

The next steps depend on whether the media is added using a URL or HTML code.

Add a video using a URL

To add a video using a URL, define the fields of the Insert/Edit Media window as follows:

  1. In the General tab of the Insert/Edit Media window, enter the information about the video:
    • Source: expects the URL to access the video.
    • Width and Height: When adding the URL, the dimensions are automatically filled in with the original width and height of the video, in pixels. New dimensions can be assigned if needed. By default, a lock icon indicates that Fluid Topics keeps the values proportional when resizing. Users can select the lock icon to define dimensions that are not proportional.
  2. In the Advanced tab, it is possible to define a video and an image to be displayed while the video is downloading or until the user selects the play button.
    • Alternative source URL: expects a URL to access the video.
    • Media poster (Image URL): expects a URL to access the image.
  3. Select Save in the Insert/Edit Media window.
  4. Select Save in the Homepage administration interface.

Add a video using HTML code

To add a video using HTML code, the process is as follows:

  1. In the Embed tab of the Insert/Edit Media window, enter the HTML code of the video to be displayed in the tile.
  2. Select Save in the Insert/Edit Media window.
  3. Select Save in the Homepage administration interface.
