Before You Start
Make sure you have:
A landing page open in the editor
A video URL from a supported platform
Supported platforms include:
YouTube
Vimeo
Vidyard
Wistia
Add a Video to Your Landing Page
Open your landing page in the editor.
Insert a Video content block.
Paste your video URL into the address bar.
Add alt text for the video.
Save your changes.
Your video is now ready to display on your landing page.
Use the Correct Video URL
Use a direct link from the video platform. Do not paste a webpage link that is not supported. The URL must come from the platform itself.
YouTube
Paste the video URL directly into the address bar.
Use the standard YouTube video link
Copy the URL from your browser or the Share button
Vidyard
Paste the video URL directly into the address bar.
Select Share next to a video in your library
Select Copy link
The URL should begin with
share.vidyard.com/watch/Remove any question mark at the end of the URL
Example format:
share.vidyard.com/watch/VIDEO-ID
Using a Branded Domain in Vidyard
If your Vidyard account uses a branded domain, the default share link may not work.
You must override the domain settings at the folder level.
To override branded domain restrictions:
Open the folder that contains your video
Click Channels in the left sidebar
Click Sharing page
Click Override
This allows the video to generate a usable share link for Knak

Open the video you want to share in Wistia.
Click Embed & Share.
Click the Share tab.
Copy the URL from the box, or click the link icon to copy it.
Paste the URL into Knak.
Vimeo
To get the correct Vimeo URL:
Open your Vimeo video page.
Click Embed.
Copy the
httpslink from the iframe embed code.

To get the correct Brightcove URL:
Open your video in Brightcove Studio.
Navigate to the Media module.
Select the video you want to use.
Click Share or locate the Preview Player URL.
Copy the public video URL (not the full embed code).
Paste this URL into the Video content block in Knak.
Important:
Do not paste the full iframe embed code
