How to Add a YouTube Video to a layout

The YouTube element allows you to select videos or live video feeds from YouTube to be displayed within a Layout

How to Add a YouTube Video to a Layout

To add a YouTube video to your Layout, follow the steps below:

  • Open the Mega Menu and in the Content column select Layouts
  • Create a new Layout, or Edit an Existing Layout
  • In the Builder Tool, select the YouTube element from the toolbar and drag it anywhere into the layout.
  • Select the gear icon by hovering over the top right corner of the element and then selecting “Edit Element.” A new row of icons will appear above the element.
  •  You will then have access to the settings for a YouTube Element

When you first open the edit ribbon you may see a message saying “There are no playlist items” if you have not yet added any videos.

Then click the checkbox to add each video.
