How to embed videos
You can embed existing videos from the platforms YouTube, Vimeo or TED, or attach a video file directly in the editing interface. Since we added the video embed feature, some trusts have used it extensively, creating dozens of teaching videos for their trainees, and sometimes combining them with feedback/evaluation forms.
If your trust has a YouTube or Vimeo channel, you may want to upload videos there, and embed them in your toolbox. The benefit is the specialized platform will convert the video to many formats and send the best one to the visitor, adapted to their device capabilities, screen size and available bandwidth. Otherwise, you can upload your video file to the toolbox.
Note: Both local and externally hosted videos will only be available to the user when the device is online.

Embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and TED
To embed a video from a sharing platform, click on the button "Embed" then select "Video from YouTube, Vimeo or TED", in the new dialogue box paste the link to the video page and click "Embed":
The video cover (poster) will be embedded, and you can click to edit the video caption (title, as set by the video publisher).
After you save the page, people can click the cover picture to play the video, both on the website, and in the app.
Notes
Normally, only published, "public" videos can be embedded into the toolbox. If you embed from YouTube of Vimeo your own videos, you can alternatively choose to make the video "unlisted" so only people with a link can see it: in most cases such videos can be embedded.
On YouTube, you can set this in the "Visibility" screen when you upload the video, or from the "Video details" screen from the "Visibility" drop-down.
On Vimeo, in "Video settings", in the section "Privacy settings", you can select "Only people with the private link" and in the section "Where can this video be embedded" you need to select "Anywhere", or "Only on sites I chose" then add www.dr-toolbox.com and www.health-toolbox.com as allowed websites.
Videos are not downloaded to the app for offline access, the user needs to be online to watch them.
Embed a video file locally
Video files are usually larger than what the visual editor accepts. We can assist with optimising your videos and attaching them to a page of your choice. Please contact us via email and we'll send you our OneDrive shared folder where you can upload the video files.
