Changing/editing your homepage video

How to edit/amend the main video on your homepage (the above the fold section)

1) If you have a static video homepage

• Login to VIA

• Go to Website > Video Pages

• Click the Search button > Double click the option in the list or right click and select edit

• Scroll to the Home Youtube Code section & enter the Youtube or Vimeo URL

  • Format for Youtube videos:

    • Enter the full URL of the video, including the https://. You can also enter the embed code of the video, which is the alphanumerical code which follows the v= section of the URL eg: BDUdkcqLYyk
      
      

    • Please DO NOT enter a URL or embed code taken from a URL in the format of https://youtu.be as this will not work. You must enter either the alphanumerical code or the full Youtube URL of the video in the https://www.youtube.com format. This video explains where the correct link and code can be found https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en-GB#:~:text=On%20a%20computer%2C%20go%20to,appears%2C%20copy%20the%20HTML%20code.
