Video Naming for Ease of Access
Make it easier to find videos when trying to add them to news items. Use a simple pattern for the Title field, such as:
- Organization name or abbreviation: Clough
- Significant subprogram or subcategory for your organization: Art Crawl or Students
- Date image was created or uploaded: 2013
- Short phrase describing image (1-4 words): Winners in photography
In this example, your title for this video would be: "Clough Art Crawl 2013 - Winners in photography."
Where to Add Videos for News/Events
On both the Create Event and Create News pages, you can add videos under the section called Media.
To attach individual videos, start typing the title of a video you've created into one of these Media fields.
