How do I display video from the Web inside content?
You can have video from another site, such as Vimeo.com or YouTube.com, displayed
in your content. The video itself isn't attached to your content, but linked
from the site itself.
- Navigate to the content and click the link to edit it.
- Click the Insert Video button on the toolbar.
- If your community supports uploading videos, you'll see a From the
Web tab. Click From the Web to link to a video rather than upload
one.
- Select the type of video you want displayed (such as Vimeo or YouTube),
- Enter video information by pasting it into the video URL/code box. You can
get that information from the video site. For example, when you're watching
a YouTube video you'll find an embed box with the code inside. Here's an
example (yes, they can be kind of long!):
<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mji4nAk_8ZY&hl=en&fs=1"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mji4nAk_8ZY&hl=en&fs=1"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"
width="425" height="344">
</embed>
</object>
- Copy that code from the site and paste it into the video URL/code box in Jive SBS.
- Click Insert Video to add the video into your content. When you
publish the content, others will be able to play it.
