Videos are very large files so as a result, we do not recommend uploading Video files directly to your website because they won't be optimized for quick and efficient delivery.
Instead, we recommend creating your own YouTube channel and uploading the video to YouTube directly. From there you can easily copy the embed code from YouTube and paste that into any page on your website. Video content will be optimized for delivery, and it's quick and easy to paste the code right into your page where you want it.
How to Add a Youtube Video
- Log into your Genius Platforms website
- Change the TEXT FORMAT of the page you are editing to "FULL HTML" - this will allow you to embed <iframe> or HTML code properly.
- Grab the YOUTUBE video you want to embed by copying the link:
- Go to this website: https://embedresponsively.com/ and place that link in the YouTube Page URL field.
- Click "Embed" and some Embed code will appear at the bottom of the page.
- Copy the Embed code and paste it in your page where you'd like the video to go.
- To stop the video from auto-playing/scrolling to the next video, you will want to add ?rel=0 to the end of the URL.
- Next, SAVE your page! Now you have an embedded video that resizes responsively, AND will not auto-play the next video in the youtube queue. :-)
