Add Video Content Element

The Video content element is available as an app. It can be installed from the Sana App Center. In Sana Admin click: App Center > Apps > Apps Explorer.

The Video content element can be added to the web pages (content pages, product and product list pages) and system pages of the Sana webstore. For example, you can add the Video content element to the home page of your webstore and play your company showreel or a product demo video in a visually striking manner.

To add a content element to a page, you must first choose a column layout, then, hover over a column and click the button (add content). Find the necessary content element, hover over it, and click Add to page. If the content element is not installed yet, click Install & add to page to install the content element and add it to the page.

For quicker and more comfortable usage, you can search and filter content elements.
