Videos are a great way to present content to your users. The University's video service is called MediaHub, and it provides an easy way to upload and embed video on your website.

To add a video to MediaHub, go to "Manage Media". You can drag and drop your video into the uploader, and then provide a title and other details. If your county has a channel already that you have access to, you can select it under the 'Channels' option.
After your video has uploaded, you will be given a '+ Embed' button when viewing the video. Copy the code provided by the embed button, and paste it into the HTML of the page.
After saving, the video should be on your page.
Pro Tip
All videos need captions to be accessible. This also provides a searchable transcript of the video. MediaHub provides a captioning service for $1.25/minute. After your video has been uploaded, you will be prompted to add captions. You can provide a cost object number for this, or provide your own through a site called Asana.
