## Overview
An announcement can feature a video instead of a static banner image — useful for a welcome message, a leadership update or a short walkthrough. When you add a video, learners see it as a playable tile on their dashboard.

## How to add a video to an announcement
1. Go to **Settings → Features** and, under the **Dashboard** section, open **Manage announcements**.
2. Click **Create announcement**, or open an existing one with the **Edit** (pencil) icon.
3. Enter a **Title** and **Description**.
4. Paste your video link into the **Video URL** field.
5. Click **Create** (or **Save**).

## Supported video providers
Currently, videos from **YouTube**, **Loom**, **Vimeo**, **Synthesia** and **Wistia** are supported. Paste the video's URL from one of these providers into the **Video URL** field.

## Things to keep in mind
* When a video is set, the announcement's image is not displayed — the video takes its place on the dashboard.
* An announcement needs a title, a description, and either a video or an image before you can save it.
* On the dashboard, the video appears as a tile with a play control; learners click it to watch.

## FAQs
**Which video services can I use?**
YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Synthesia and Wistia.

**Can I have both a video and an image?**
You can fill in both fields, but when a video URL is set the image won't be shown — the video is used instead.

**Do I still need a title and description?**
Yes — a title and description are always required, along with either a video or an image.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can add a video to an announcement. **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot.
