To insert a video within a page, the video has to be hosted on a video hosting platform, such as YouTube or Vimeo. There are two ways to add it: paste the video's link (Method A), or paste its embed code (Method B).
Method A: Insert a video from its link
1. Click into the text box where you'd like the video. The toolbar appears across the top of the text box.
Place your cursor where you want the video to sit.
2. Click "Insert" in the toolbar and choose "Video".
3. The Insert/edit media pop-up appears. This is where you'll paste the video link, so make sure your video's direct link is copied.
4. Paste the entire video URL in the "Source" field.
Once you click out of the field, the Dimensions fill in automatically.
5. Optional: set the video's size before inserting it.
To avoid the video skewing, make sure "Constrain proportions" is ticked, then change the width and the height updates to match.
6. Click "Ok" to apply the changes.
7. Voila! Your video now appears within the text box. Be sure to test it out.
Method B: Embed a video with its embed code
Use this method if your video platform gives you an embed code instead of a plain link. In this example, the video is hosted on YouTube.
1. On your video's page, click "Share".
2. Choose "Embed".
3. Click "Copy" so the whole embed code is copied to your clipboard.
4. Back in the AirMason editor, click into the text box where you'd like the video, then click "Insert" and choose "Video".
5. Open the "Embed" tab, paste the whole embed code, and click "Ok".
6. Voila! The video appears within the text box.
Tip: You can also paste embed code directly into the text box's HTML. Click "More" in the toolbar, then the "Source code" button, paste the code at the very end, and click "Ok".
