To Insert a YouTube Video Content Definition

To add a video that is hosted on YouTube on one of your interior pages, you follow the same process as adding a photo Gallery or other content definition.

Click the edit icon and choosing Create Content Definition and then choose the ‘YouTube Video’ content definition type.  If there is already a video in the area and you want to change it, either choose Remove Content Definition or choose Edit Content Definition and then edit the appropriate fields. If you have already created a content definition with this video, you can choose Insert Content Definition.
