Video section

CORE supports embedding videos from YouTube, which is a free service highly respected for streaming quality, upload ease, and video playback control. Embedding videos from another host helps your Page load faster and enables visitors to share your videos.

For these reasons, there is no option to upload a video directly to CORE.

1. To start, you must upload your video(s) to YouTube.
2. Once your video is uploaded, copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
   Accepted YouTube URLs will look something like this
   Single Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv96WKme3Mo
   Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7Wkp7VPLbaryA085e_9PSNkDcAUb4qxy
3. In CORE, click on Page from the main menu.
4. From your Edit Page screen, select a tab in the navigation bar where you want to add your video section. (If you don’t see a navigation bar below your header, you can add navigation or simply add the section to a single page layout.)
5. Hover over the area on the page where you want to add your section. An Add Content marker will appear, showing you where a new section can be inserted.
6. Click Add Section to open a dropdown menu.
7. Select Video in the menu.
8. In the Video lightbox editor, you can customize several options.
Section Title
Add an optional title for the section. If this field is left blank, then no title will appear above the section.
Embed Video
Click Enter a video link… and paste the YouTube video URL (see step 2). Press Enter to add your video player.
Video Caption
Your video description will automatically import from YouTube and display below your video player. You can edit this text at any time, or choose not to display the caption.
9. Once you’ve finished setting up your section, click Add to close the lightbox. The new section will appear on your Page.

Videos on www.army.mil do not autoplay when a user visits your Page. When clicked, they will play with sound.
