Step-by-step Instructions
- Select Add New Component → Video-Only.
- Optionally, add the Feature Image (optimal dimensions: 1530px × 1020px). If both a Video URL and an Image File are present, the image will be used as the video's poster image. This is the intended behavior but is not required.
- If using an existing image already in the system:
- Click the Insert an Image button to launch the image browser.
- Navigate to the image under Select Image, select it using the radio button, and click Select Image.
- If using a new image:
- Click the Insert an Image button to launch the image browser.
- Click Upload Image, then click Browse… to locate the image on your computer. Finally, click Select Image.
- If using an existing image already in the system:
- Add a Video URL.
- Note: The system expects videos to come from YouTube or Vimeo.
- Videos shared on the College website should include closed captions.
