Help:Video embed tool

Videos are a great way to showcase information and keep readers engaged on your community! The video embed tool makes it possible to quickly and easily add videos to an article page.

Videos can also be included in galleries and most other locations where images are supported. Videos that are under 400px wide will play in the media lightbox.

Step-by-step

 * First the video must be uploaded to the wiki, because it is not currently possible to upload a video directly in the editor. To do so, navigate to Special:NewFiles and then click "add a video". A modal will open up, so enter the URL of the video and click "add" — you've done it!




 * Now that the video file is uploaded, open the editor on the page you'd like to add the video to. If you know how, you can use wikitext to add the video straightaway, but otherwise you'll have to navigate to the add media icon.




 * The media icon will open the media settings dialogue box. Search for the title of the video you just uploaded, and then select it.


 * Once the image/wikitext has been added, hit "save" in the editor to save the page with your new video inserted!
