YouTube & Vimeo
To add YouTube videos or Vimeo videos without downloading them, it's best to use our sg_youtube and sg_vimeo video extensions. This will enable the plugin content elements for YouTube and Vimeo. Click here to go to the product page of the video extensions. With these content elements you can elegantly embed single videos, as well as playlists/showcases or whole channels with a variety of options on your website. Below you can see the different options of the extensions.
Note: Videos from the file list can be embedded like images via the content element 'Text & Media'.
