Objective

To insert a video on your Training Center page. 

Things to Consider

  • Videos can not be stored on the Training Center and must be embedded from a third party video platform. 
  • You can manually adjust the size of a video once it's been placed on a page.
  • The privacy settings of a YouTube embedded video must be set to either 'public' or 'unlisted'. If you don't want your video to appear in search results on YouTube, use the 'unlisted' option. (See image below)
