Adding a video to your page not only engages the user, but it humanizes the content on the page.
Videos cannot be uploaded to Cascade, but you can add a video by embedding or linking to it in many areas on a webpage.
Videos should be housed on either YouTube or Vimeo.
Embedding a Video in a Content Block
Jump to Adding a Video in the Sidebar
Get the embed code from YouTube Or Vimeo.
YouTube
- Click the "Share" icon
- When the dialogue box pops up, click "Embed"
- Copy the code:
Vimeo
- Click "Embed" in the upper right corner:
- Ensure "responsive" is checked so the video will size accordingly to the user's device.
- Copy the code.
- Go to the page in Cascade where you want to add the video and click "Edit"
Adding the embed code in Cascade
Once you're on the page in Cascade where the video will be shared:
- Click the video icon on the toolbar
- Click "Embed" and paste the code in the box.
- Click Ok.
The video will now appear in the Content Block.
Adding a Video in the Content>Feature Area
You can add a link to a video in the Content>Feature Area. This is a preformatted size and only requires the video code.
- Click the "Feature" bar under the Content Block where you want to add the video.
- Scroll to the "Video" bar and expand that section.
- Select either YouTube or Vimeo.
- Add a title to the video.

Submit the page.
