The Video Teaser feature has been updated and is now a combination of the former video upload (now [DEPRECATED] video”) and the actual “Video Teaser” module.
With this combination you benefit from all new features no matter which option you choose, a video or a video teaser.
You will use “Video teaser” in a Content block.
Here, we recommend to “Choose an existing entry” whcih you created before in Content Options / Video Teaser.
Create a Video Teaser entry
Start by accessing the "Video Teaser" Content Type, available in 1: Create a Web Page - Content Options - Video Teaser.
Create a new entry within the Content Type for each Video Teaser Group (Think in Sections).
Then click on “Add a group entry” to start the first instance to which you add videos or teasers.
Preparing or modifying Video Teaser content
Internal Titles: Always use the "internal title" field to keep your content organized within Contentstack.
Headline Title: Provide a catchy headline for your Video Teaser, which will be visible on the website.
Intro/Teaser Text: Write a brief introduction that entices users to watch the video.
Uploading File: Add videos using one of three methods: upload from local assets (preferably in MP4 format), choose from YouTube Channels, or use a direct link.
If you choose YouTube videos, please be aware that users would see them only after they accepted functional cookies.
Users can either to it in the Cookies banner, but also by clicking on the video teaser.
Sizing: Select from different sizes (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, Full) to determine how the Video Teaser will be displayed.
Thumbnail (Use it only if it’s necessary): Add an image that gives a hint that a video is behind. It will overlay the video and clicking it reveals and plays the video. Please use it cautiously.
Autoplay: Decide whether the video should autoplay when users hover over the teaser.
Adding Video Teasers to Content Blocks
Navigate to the Content Block where you want to insert a Video Teaser.
Choose the "Video Teaser" Module and reference the desired entry.
Make sure to publish your Video Teaser entries and Content Blocks to make them live on your website. Please also check if your video asset is also published, if have chosen a video by asset.
