Working with video

The video field: pick a video from the media library or give its address, then set quality, autoplay, poster, start time, loop, controls and sound.

A video field shows a video on the page. Under Source, choose where the video comes from:

  • Media: a video from the media library. Click Browse... and pick one. Clear... takes it out of the field again.
  • Url: the address of a video.

For a video from the media library, you can also set how it plays:

  • Quality: Medium (720p) or High (1080p).
  • Playing: Yes starts the video by itself.
  • Poster: Yes shows a still picture before the video plays.
  • Start Time: where the video starts, in seconds. Type it, or drag the slider.
  • Loop: Yes starts the video over when it ends.
  • Controls: Show or Hide the player's buttons.
  • Muted: Yes plays the video without sound. Most browsers only start a video by itself when it is muted.
The video field with Source set to Media, the Browse... button, and the settings Quality, Playing, Poster, Start Time, Loop, Controls and Muted.

The video field

Your website decides how it uses these settings.

To put a video in the middle of a text, use Insert video... in the rich text editor.
