Video Wall

How to use

Video wall allows you to display multiple videos on a page.

For each video wall item, you fill in the Name, video URL and Title.

A thumbnail image is optional, or it will take the thumbnail from the video platform.

Optional - up to two text links

Search box (top right of videos) - allows the user to search for a video and filter the view

You can create multiple video wall containers to separate video walls by subtitles or themes.

Instructions

Step 1: Add a child folder to your section for video wall items. NB: untick this folder for “show in navigation” so it doesn’t appear in your menu (the folder appears clear-coloured).

Optional:

Create a second video wall:
