Add videos to Your Library (URL, Privacy settings)

Embed a video

In order to embed a video in a gallery:

1. Click on Your Library option located at the top of your admin panel, and select the option Images.
2. A master library window will appear where all images uploaded to your website will be visible.
3. On the left-bottom corner you will see an option to embed a video. Click on Import From:  YouTube | Vimeo and 
4. Select YouTube or Vimeo.
5. Paste your video URL that you have obtained from YouTube or Vimeo, and click Import.
6. Once videos are added to your library, you would be able to add them on your page.
   
   

Obtain a correct URL

It's important to get a correct URL that leads to your video, otherwise, the system won't recognize your video, and you won't be able to embed it to your site. Please don't try to embed playlists, it won't work! The system can only recognize a single video. The guidelines for YouTube and Vimeo can be found below:

YouTube

1. Open your video on YouTube.
2. Click on the Share button that can be found near likes & dislikes.
3. Click on the Copy near the URL to copy it.

A correct URL looks like this: https://youtu.be/7pPyIdDSkJ8

Vimeo

1. Open your video on Vimeo.
2. Click on the Share button that can be found after you hover your mouse over the video.
3. Select the URL and copy it.

A correct URL looks like this: https://vimeo.com/480738643

Make my video public

Sometimes, despite having a correct video URL, the system keeps showing an error message. In such case, it's important to double-check whether your video is opened for the public, because the system cannot embed a private video. You can find guidelines for YouTube and Vimeo below:

YouTube

• Public videos
• Unlisted videos
• Private videos

When sharing a video, you need to make sure that it's a Public video. You can check the visibility by opening your video in your YouTube Studio:

Please make sure that the privacy settings on YouTube are set to Public, and then try to embed your video again.

Vimeo

• Privacy settings overview
• Changing the privacy settings of your videos

1. Log into your Vimeo account
2. Open your video
3. Click on the Privacy at the left

You will see 2 options: Link and Embed.

• Under the Link set the video to Public.
• Under the Embed set the option to Anywhere.

Now open your website and embed your video again — it will be working fine! Please note, sometimes it can take a few hours for changes to take place on Vimeo.
