Information
Adding a video to the sign in page of your hub can give it a personal touch and better introduce the advocacy program to potential advocates. Below are two methods to embed a video on the sign in page, each with its own pros and cons.
Method 1: Embedding with Markdown
Embed a video directly using Markdown syntax. This method allows the video to be played without leaving the page, but the video URL will be visible.
To add the video URL, navigate to Settings > Advocate Program tab > Sign-In > under Advocate Sign-In Message.
Method 2: Custom Thumbnail with Youtube Video
Embed a Youtube video with a custom thumbnail image. This method hides the video URL but redirects users to another tab to play the video.
Upload your thumbnail and video to Imgur and Youtube respectively, then collect their URLs. Add the links to the hub using the following syntax: [![]()](), placing the Imgur image URL in the first round brackets and the Youtube video URL in the second.
Example syntax with links: [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqqsrNMN5Y4).
After adding the links, click Save and Preview to view the changes.
