Video files can’t be directly uploaded to CCL Community. Instead, if the video is hosted on a video streaming site such as YouTube or Vimeo, you can use a video’s URL (web address) to “embed” the video on a CCL Community group page or your personal My Videos page.
To add a video to your CCL Community chapter group or Action Team:
- Copy the URL (web address) of the video.
-
On a CCL Community Chapter group or Action Team page, click “Videos” from the menu. This will open the video gallery page for that CCL Community group.
-
Select the blue bar: “Add Videos.” This then opens a dialogue box with instructions and a text field.
-
Paste the video's URL into the text field.
-
Next, click the blue “Embed” button.
-
You must enter a title for the video in the title field (required).
-
The description, tags, and a checkbox to “share sitewide” are optional. The description will help members find the video when searching. Choose “share sitewide” if you want the video to be available to members outside of your CCL Community group.
-
Click “Post” when completed.
A video thumbnail and the title will appear in the Video Gallery. Members can click on the thumbnail or title to view the video in a player on that page.
Note: If you wish to embed a video you have personally created, you need to create an account on a compatible hosting service such as YouTube, upload it, and then proceed as described above.
For your My Videos page, follow the instructions outlined above.
