With the use of the Video Block, you can add any video from third party video hosting services like Vimeo or Youtube, using just the link of that video.
Follow these steps to add a Vimeo or Youtube video to your website.
- In your Zenfolio account, click on the Website icon, on the left-hand side.
- In the Website Editor, click on the Navigation icon and select which page you'd like to add the video to. See this guide here, for more information about creating multi-page websites.
- In the right-hand side of the Editor, click on the icon in the place where you want to add the Video Block.
- Scroll through the different Block options and select the Video block, in the Content Blocks section.
After selecting the Video Block, you can then adjust the video that will be seen and other options for the Block.
- Video: paste the Vimeo or Youtube URL of the specific video you want to appear on your website, into the Video URL field.
- You can also choose a custom photo Cover for the video. Switch on the Cover option and use the Replace Photo button to choose a photo to use as the Cover of the video.
- You can also use the Autoplay, Audio, and Loop options to determine how the video plays when someone visits this page. Note: If Audio is disabled, the visitor must manually unmute the video.
- Appearance: Use these options to control the padding around the Block, as well as the Title and Body text that describes the video.
- On the right-hand side, while you have the Block selected, you can also choose from the Layouts available for the displaying of the Block.
Once you get your video added, you can preview your website to see what it will look like, and be sure to Publish the website from the Editor so that other visitors to your website can see the added block.
Videos uploaded directly to your Zenfolio hosted Galleries can be added to your site using the Image & Gallery Blocks.
