How do I insert a video into the "Placeholder for Featured Video" on the page editor?

Why can't I input a video directly into a page?

If you have created a page within OneMob you will see the grayed out section (image above) in the middle of the page editor. You are not able to input a video directly into a page because the page is used as a template that when shared can be used by other colleagues at your company when creating different emails or links.

You can even reuse your same page with a different featured video - take a look at the two images below for an example of that. Note: You would need to create one email or link with the first video and the page and then create another email or link with the second video and the same page to accomplish this.

Notice how both videos fill the "Placeholder for Featured Video" space that is shown in the page template editor, but they are using the same page template with the same content. There are a multitude of possibilities that are opened by making it possible for you to create a page and use that page multiple times with different videos. 

If I can't change the video in my page directly... how do I add my video to my email or link?

If you have completed creating your page you can now create an email or link to use your page with a video. Look below for a quick guide for how to do it for email or link:

• Email (click here for a more detailed look into email creation in OneMob):
  • Click the Email button at the top of your OneMob window
    • If you are still in the Page Editor you can click the blue Send button at the top right and click "Send via Email" from the drop down.
      
  • In the email composer select to Add Content > Click Use a Page 
  • Hover over the page you would like to use and click the Use this Page button
  • From there, one of two things can happen: (1) a video was automatically selected as your Featured Video from the videos you have in your page content or (2) you have no Featured Video selected. 
    • If (1) - you can use that video as your Featured Video or click the arrows next to the thumbnail of the video to select a different video from your Library. 
    • If (2) - click the "+" sign to add a video from your Library.
  • Continue to follow the instructions in this article that details the rest of the email composer.
    
    
• Link (click here for a more detailed into link creation in OneMob):

What if I just want to create a page with content and don't want to include a video?

With OneMob you can still create an email or link that does not include a video. If you want to send a document, image, or URL and track the activities for it you can still create a page and send. For more information for how to send an email or link with no video click here (follow same instructions for link).
