Quick Tip: Add video and music files to your website

Where can I get video or audio widgets?

Video – You can easily find videos on sites like Youtube.com or Dailymotion. You can either use already uploaded videos, or upload your own. To transmit videos live, we recommend that you use the service Ustream.tv. (Check out our detailed instructions on how to add a video.)

Audio – For finding audio files or storing your own recordings, there are many sites online to share music, such as Soundcloud.com or Chirbit.com.

How do I add a video or audio widget to my website?

Widgets can be added to a Webnode site by using the “HTML Code (Embed)”. HTML codes for individual files are hidden behind links or buttons like “Add”, “Add video to web”, “Get Widget” or maybe “Get code”. For detailed instructions on inserting HTML code, please see our Knowledge base article.

When inserting a music or video widget, please remember to observe copyright laws.
