snippet options for videos
There are two preloaded snippets that can be used for a video on your page. Pages using the Two Column Text with Image/Video snippet have the option to have either an image or a video embedded into the framing of the snippet design. If you want to have a video on your page that is not in the Two Column Text with Image/Video snippet, then you also have the option to add a video to a One Column Text snippet.
Video Embed in the Two Column Text with Image/Video snippet
This tutorial video will show you how to use the video embed section of the Two Column Text with Image/Video snippet found on many of the page templates.
This is not as simple as using the standard video share link information for a video ID and the link URL must use the "embed" code. Adding a video this way is not done by using the "Insert/edit media" button in the WYSIWYG toolbar, but uses the Insert/edit link instead.
Using the YouTube component in the one column text snippet
Many page templates already include preloaded regions (like the Two Column Text with Image/Video) where you can override a photo with an embedded YouTube or Vimeo video. However, you might want to have a video on your page that is not using that snippet. The YouTube component allows you to easily embed a YouTube video using its video ID. It’s commonly used in simpler layouts like the One Column Text snippet where a video embed might not be built in by default. The component auto-generates the proper embed structure behind the scenes once you supply the video ID. It fits cleanly into the page and is fully responsive. Please note that the video will center on your page and the alignment cannot be adjusted.
First, you'll need to be editing a One Column Text snippet on your page template.
In the One Column Text snippet, you'll place your cursor where you want to insert the YouTube component. You will select the "Insert Component" button in the WYSIWYG toolbar, and then choose the "Redesign 2025 - YouTube" component.
On the YouTube video that you want to add to your page, you'll locate the video Share URL and copy just the ID (after the v= in the URL).
Paste the video ID into the YouTube Video ID field of the component.
Click Save. Your video will appear when the page is previewed or published.
If you want to have a Vimeo video on your page without using the Two Column Text with Image/Video snippet, you'll embed it using the Insert/edit media button (play button icon) in the WYSIWYG toolbar.
