The use of videos has increased in popularity, so there is a gallery feature that allows users to edit the video properties, copy the URL, and play the video. This saves the effort of adding it to a block on a landing page and previewing.

Poster images

A poster image appears in front of the video before it begins playing. To configure it:

1. First, add the poster image to the images library
2. Edit the video and click the Choose Image button.
3. Check the Use image for video poster option.
4. Click the Save button.

The poster image will now appear on any page that has the video embedded on it using a video block.

Note: To save bandwidth, some iOS devices (iPhone/iPad) will not display a preview image of a video. This will often result in a blank rectangle in place of the video preview image when a page is viewed on an iOS device. To overcome this, it is recommended to supply a poster image for a video.
