Import Video App

Use Import video from url to add a video from a video site, such as YouTube or Vimeo, or from a direct link to a video file. The CMS downloads the video and adds it to the layer like an uploaded video, so the screen plays it from its own copy.

 

How to Import a Video

  1. Copy the video’s link from the video site.
  2. Open the playlist, then click the layer. See Playlist Media Management.
  3. If the layer is empty, the content apps open. If it already has media, click Add New.
  4. Click Video Apps, then Import video from url.
