.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _media: ========================= Embedding video and audio ========================= Like images, it's best practice to add new video and audio files using the :guilabel:`File > Filelist` module, which is covered in the :ref:`chapter about the file module `. This method means files are stored centrally and any information or metadata you add to the file is used wherever that media file is used on the site. When you use the :guilabel:`Select & upload files` button, the media file is attached to the page and gets uploaded to the :guilabel:`user_uploads` folder in the :guilabel:`Filelist`. .. tip:: By only using :guilabel:`Select & upload files`, your files pile up in the :guilabel:`user_uploads` folder pretty quickly. Therefore you should rather upload and organize the files via the :guilabel:`Add Media` button or upload it with the :guilabel:`File > Filelist` module directly, as described above. .. _add-video-to-page: Add a video to a page ===================== On the :guilabel:`Media` tab, click the :guilabel:`Add media file` button, then follow the same process as you would to :ref:`add-image-to-page`. .. include:: /Images/AutomaticScreenshots/EditContent/EditContentMediaTab.rst.txt Alternatively, you can click the :guilabel:`Add media by URL` button to paste a link to a video or audio file from the web. .. _Configure-the-video: Configure the video =================== Use the :guilabel:`Autoplay` setting to specify whether the video should start playing as soon as the page loads. You can configure various settings for media files (for example, adding a border, setting page position and behavior) just as you would to :ref:`configure an image`.
