A great way to add interest and excitement to your slideshow is to have a video as one of your slides. Luckily, WOWSlider makes this incredibly easy to do.
You can add a video from either YouTube or Vimeo. Ideally, these should be videos you have permission to use on your website!
How to add a video from YouTube
- Open WOWSlider as normal.
- Click on the ‘Add images and videos’ button at the top of the screen.
- Pick ‘Add video from YouTube’
- Paste the URL of the video you want to add into the field. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xDIDG2SF9Q
- You can choose whether to add the description from YouTube by selecting the ‘Load full description’ checkbox.
- Click ‘Add’.
- Your video will now appear in the slideshow and you can edit it in the same way as any other slide.
How to add a video from Vimeo
- Open WOWSlider.
- Use the ‘Add images and videos’ button in the top navigation bar.
- Click on ‘Add video from Vimeo’.
