Add Videos

You can use videos in topics that you publish to HTML and HTML5. For other outputs, such as PDF, content will include a link to the video instead.

To use videos, you add a video frame to your topic and then set it to link to a video that is hosted elsewhere. You cannot upload videos to Paligo. For video hosting, Paligo supports:

  • Self-hosted videos

    This is when you host your videos on your own server or hosting space rather than on a third-party video service.

  • YouTube

  • Vimeo

  • Wistia

If you use a different video service, we may be able to support it, but it could require a customization (contact support for advice).

To use videos in your content, you will need to either host the video on your web server or use a video hosting service. Paligo supports videos on YouTube, Vimeo, and Wistia. If you use a different video service, we may be able to support it, but it could require a customization (contact support for advice).

Tip

If you also publish to PDF, the video will appear, but as a hyperlink to the video. By default, the link text will display the url, but you can add a caption in your mediaobject element, an alternative image to display, or the alt or textobject elements (if you don't want a caption in HTML output).
