How to insert a video

Content maintainers can embed YouTube, Vimeo or Livestream videos in a WCMS website in many different content types (web page, news, event, blog post, person profile, etc.).

Note: Due to size restriction and usability reasons, videos can only be embedded in the body/content area.
