Adding videos to a slideshow

[Elliot Burlingham]

I’ve added still images and videos to the slideshow on my homepage, but only the stills show up.

What kind of videos are supported and how do I go about adding them?

Thanks!

Elliot,

Great question. When you’re creating a slide, you’ll want to paste the embed code from the video service you’re using into the box labeled “Video Code.”

Once the slide is published, it should look like this on the front page:

I generally use Vimeo for my videos because it has a nice player that works well. If you use YouTube, you’ll need to make a change to your embed code as described in this post so that the navigation will be visible on top of the video.

If you have any trouble, let me know and if possible send over a link to where you’re working with theme so I can take a closer look for you.

Thanks and enjoy your weekend,
Bill
