Add video to page

[Matteo Parsani]

Hello,

recently, I started building my website using Nikola. In my research page, I would like to add a video above or below or next to to some text. Is it possible to do that? If so, are there examples where I can learn?

Thank you!

Best Regards

What type of video do you mean? Hosted on your server or a third party link?

Also, are you using restructuredtext or markdown?

You can always slip some HTML into the page. Both restructuredtext and markdown support this, which means Nikola does, too.

<video src=""></video>

See here for more about the HTML5 video element.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#video

Most modern browsers support the HTML5 video element and it's the easiest way to embed a video in HTML. It should also obey style. So you could

<video.right src=""></video>

with .right defined in style somewhere; or add style inline.

If you are using reStructuredText, you have three things you can use
the `media`, `youtube` and `vimeo` directives.
http://getnikola.com/handbook.html#media for examples.

You probably don’t want to host it on your own webserver.

This is not HTML. Did you mean <video class="right" src=""></video> ?

Thank you for all your help!

I am planning to host my website on github-pages.

Is that feasible?

Thanks!

GitHub probably isn’t going to like you hosting video files there.
Just upload it to YouTube like everyone does. It will also be easier
to use with Nikola.

Okay, thank you!
