Videos

Include videos from Oracle Content Management to add motion and visual engagement to the page.

Oracle Content Management offers several options to add video to a page. You can embed YouTube Videos hosted on their site, or you can add a video stored, managed, and delivered from Oracle Content Management to take advantage of the automatic transcoding and optimized streaming Video Plus offers. This is useful when sites are served to multiple devices with different capabilities. If your system administrator has not enabled Video Plus then standard video is an option.

To use videos hosted by YouTube, see YouTube Videos.

To use a video stored in an Oracle Content Management documents or asset repository:

  1. Navigate to the page you want to edit and make sure that the Edit switch ( Edit switch ) is set to Edit.
  2. To select a video, double-click the component on the page to open the video selection panel directly, or click the menu icon Component Menu icon, choose Settings, and click Select next to the Video field to open the selection panel.
  3. Select a video from the site repository, from a documents folder that's been shared with you, or upload a video to a documents folder. You can also add a video to the repository first from the video selection panel by clicking Add and selecting Add from Documents or Add from this computer. Once the video is added, you must then find and select it.
  4. Once you've selected a video, click OK to close the video selection panel.
    1. If Video Plus is enabled, you can select different repositories, search channels, collections and keywords, and filter assets to help you narrow your search when navigating to a video.
    2. When using standard video, choose a video file of type MP4. The MP4 video format is common to all supported browsers. Also, some standard videos have a predefined preview image.
