Add Videos to Your Campaign
Video content is a great way to level up your engagement with donors and fundraisers, creating a deeper level of connection and story. We'll explore how to add videos to your campaign pages and also how fundraisers can add videos using the Blog feature.
Raisely supports YouTube and Vimeo within the page builder settings. To use other platforms, it is suggested you use the HTML block to add embed code.
Adding Videos to Pages
There are two primary use cases when adding video content to your campaign pages. These include both standalone videos, ready for the user to play and auto-play video backgrounds used on rows. Let's explore both of these:
Adding Standalone Video (using Video Block)
To add a simple standalone video to your campaign page, simply use the Video block in the block options. Add the block where you like on the page and select the block settings icon (⚙️). Here you can paste in your link from YouTube or Vimeo, as well as add a background fade to allow your text to be easily read.
Adding Video as Row Background
You can also add an 'auto-play' video background to rows. This can be a great feature for Home pages and hero sections across the campaign. To add a video background to a row, simply select the rows setting icon (⚙️ top-right of row), then select the video icon and paste in your video link. You can even add a background fade to the row which allows viewers to clearly see any text you may have placed in the row.
Adding Videos to Blog Posts
The blog feature can be used by campaign managers or fundraisers, enabling stories to display in a readable feed. Video's can be added to posts, simply by pasting in the video link from YouTube or Vimeo. You do not need to use embed code for this, as Raisely automatically detects the link as video content and formats accordingly.
