Add a Video to your POI

Video tutorial

Step by step: Adding a Youtube or Vimeo video

This is how you can add a YouTube video or a Vimeo video to a POI:

Select first the URL of a video on YouTube or Vimeo. This looks like

• http://vimeo.com/93190378 (in the case of vimeo)
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMMFoYA6_J4 (in the case of youtube)

Copy this to your clipboard (ctr v)

• Create a POI (read here how to do this) to get to the POI Create/Edit Page.
• In your POI Create/Edit page, you will see a module "Related media" (see figure below)

• Select as Media type Vimeo video or YouTube video
• Paste the URL you copied in your clipboard in the field "Add a video by URL"
  • If the URL is correct (recognized) the rest of the info (Name of media source & Link to media source) will be filled in automatically

Don't forget to Confirm and save

You will see the result in your location page (see figure below)

 

You can now add this POI (with video) to a specific route using the Individual POI-PUSH or the general POI-PUSH. The result is that you will see the video in the RouteViewer.
