To add a video using a URL, define the fields of the Insert/Edit Media window as follows:
- 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.
- 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.
- Select Save in the Insert/Edit Media window.
