How to upload a video Having reached Level 2, contributors have
unlocked the ability to upload & embed videos at the top of their articles.
To do so, click ‘Add Video’.
The following box will appear. You must enter a video embedding code which can be taken from YouTube.
To retrieve this code, click ‘Share’.
Then, click ‘Embed’.
Now you have your video embedding code. Select/highlight the code, right-‐click & hit copy.
Paste the code into the video upload box in the CMS. Here, you need to change the video dimensions to make it the correct size
for the GiveMeSport website.
Change the ‘iframe width’ to 650 & and ‘height’ to 420. Ensure you do not delete/change any other details as this will stop the video from uploading.
When that’s done, click ‘Select’.
Having done that, you will be taken back to your article. From
here, you can write & upload your work as normal.
When you’re happy with your article, click ‘Submit’ at the bottom of the page. One of our Academy team will review your
article within 24 hours.
