While it is not possible to upload a video to your Fotomerchant account, you will be able to embed a video from a third party provider such as YouTube or Vimeo into a Web Page.
A video hosted on YouTube or Vimeo can be embedded in two different ways into the mobile friendly web editor (the one with the grey + bar). The video can be embedded by pasting the URL of the video into the video block or by inserting the embed code of the video into a Ras HTML/JS block of a webpage.
Videos on Animoto can only be inserted by editing the HTML on a webpage. Instructions can be found accordingly in the three different sections below.
