Video instructions for embedding within a website or adding a link to an email
Written instructions for embedding within your intranet website
Step 1. Open the email received from the HR Trove. There are three approaches to adding the video to your intranet website:
(You will have multiple emails if you purchased more than one video.)
(1) Embed within the site
- Copy the embed code text from the "Installation method #1—Embed Code" section from your email
- Open the webpage file or configuration within your website where you would like to place the video
- Paste the copied text directly into the section between the tags in the HTML file or within your webpage widget
(2) Direct URL
Alternatively, some intranet systems require the direct URL to the video to be added to a webpage widget. In this case, please copy/paste the “Installation method #2—Direct URL” within your email.
(3) Link on webpage
One final option is placing a link within your page using the “Installation method #2—Direct URL". Simply copy/paste the URL as a link to the specific text within your webpage.
Step 2. View the HTML file which will display the video in your web browser.
