Adding Video Content to a Landing Page

Add a video block to your landing page. Then paste a supported video link from YouTube, Vimeo, Vidyard, or Wistia.

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

  1. Open your landing page in the editor.

  2. Insert a Video content block.

    From the content panel in the landing page, drag in a video content block where desired

  3. Paste your video URL into the address bar.

    In the video attributes panel, paste your Video URL

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

The Video URL should be copied directly from the platform itself not an unsported webpage link

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:

  1. Open the folder that contains your video

  2. Click Channels in the left sidebar

  3. Click Sharing page

  4. Click Override

This allows the video to generate a usable share link for Knak

Wistia

Knak currently supports Wistia's legacy media links (/medias/ format). The newer public share links (/s/ format) are not currently supported.

To get a supported Wistia URL:

  1. Open the video you want to share in Wistia.

  2. Navigate to the video's Manage page.

  3. Find the Info section.

  4. Copy the legacy media page URL.

  5. Paste the URL into the Video content block in Knak.

Example supported URL:

https://support.wistia.com/medias/h1z3uqsjal

Note: Using Wistia's default /s/ share link will display a "Not Supported" message in Knak.

For more information, see Wistia's documentation on share links.

Vimeo

To get the correct Vimeo URL:

  1. Open your Vimeo video page.

  2. Click Embed.

  3. Copy the https link from the iframe embed code.

    open your Vimeo video page, select embed, then copy the link from the iframe embed code.

  4. Paste that URL into the address bar in Knak.

    1. Do not paste the full iframe code. Paste only the URL.

      Only Paste the video URL not the iframe code.

Brightcove

To get the correct Brightcove URL:

  1. Open your video in Brightcove Studio.

  2. Navigate to the Media module.

  3. Select the video you want to use.

  4. Click Share or locate the Preview Player URL.

  5. Copy the public video URL (not the full embed code).

  6. Paste this URL into the Video content block in Knak.

Important:

  • Do not paste the full iframe embed code

  • Use a direct video or player URL

  • Make sure the video is publicly accessible

Add Alt Text

Add alt text before you publish your page. Alt text helps describe the video for accessibility. Keep it short. Make it clear.

Examples:

  • Product overview video

  • Customer testimonial video

  • Webinar recording about landing pages

In the video attributes panel, add alternative texts for your video
