Overview

A Text step's rich-text editor lets you add a video directly into the Step, so learners can watch it without leaving SuperPath. You can either paste a link to a video hosted elsewhere or upload a video file of your own.

Embed a video

1. Add or open a Text step in your Pathway, then click into the editor.
2. In the editor toolbar, click Insert and choose Video. (On narrower screens the Video option lives under the More menu.)

3. In the Add Video dialog, choose Video URL to paste a link, or Upload video to upload a file from your device.
4. Add your video, then click Upload video to insert it. Your video now appears in the Text step.

Supported video sources

When adding a video by link, SuperPath currently supports videos from YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Synthesia and Wistia. If you upload a file instead, common video formats such as MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI and MKV are supported.

Note: To embed interactive (iFrame) content such as a quiz or booking widget rather than a video, use the iFrame option instead — see How to Add an Interactive Element to a Pathway Text Step.

Things to keep in mind

• Only videos from the supported sources above will embed from a link; links from other providers may not display correctly.
• Editing a Text step returns a published Pathway to a draft (unpublished) state, so publish it again once you're done.

FAQs

Which video sites can I link to?
YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Synthesia and Wistia are currently supported.

Can I upload my own video file?
Yes. Choose Upload video in the Add Video dialog to upload a file rather than link to one.

What's the difference between adding a Video and an iFrame?
Use Video for a hosted or uploaded video; use iFrame to embed interactive content such as a Genially, Synthesia, JotForm or Calendly widget.

Who can do this

Owners, Admins, Managers, Content Managers and Instructors can edit a Text step and embed a video. People Managers, Employees, Members, Volunteers and Restricted users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot.
