Admins can embed videos or podcasts on any uConnect resource description, community, blog, or page by pasting an iframe shortcode into the Text tab of the description editor. Use this method when your video is hosted on a platform other than Candid Career, YouTube, Wistia, or Vimeo, or when you need to embed content outside the featured video content type.
uConnect's featured video content type allows users to publish videos from Candid Career, YouTube, Wistia, or Vimeo, by following the steps in our "Add a new video" article here. Our featured video content type allows you to store videos in a library or in widgets within community pages. If you want to embed a video outside of these options, or your video is hosted on a platform outside of Candid Career, YouTube, Wistia, or Vimeo, follow the steps below to learn about inserting video embed codes.
How do I insert a video or podcast embed code?1. The 'Visual' tab of a description text box, featured below, is commonly used for adding content to a community, page, or resource in your backend. In order to embed a video, you'll need to switch over to the 'Text' tab, as highlighted in red.
2. Take the embed code/iframe tag of your video or podcast from the platform your video/podcast is currently hosted on (for example, Cincopa). The embed code will look similar to the example code below:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="<a class=" intercom-content-link"="" href="https://www.cincopa.com/embed/ARH-FQpEXm0" target="_blank">https://www.example.com" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>
Once this is pasted into the "Text" section, you'll need to edit the code slightly to use a short-code, instead of the embed code that's pulled from the platform your video is hosted on.
3. To convert the embed code above to an iframe shortcode, delete the closing tag and change the < and > signs to [ and ] :
[iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.example.com" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen]
4. Next, save the page, resource, or community where you added the shortcode. Your video will now appear on the front end of the uConnect platform.
