I am the Online Chair for Cape Coral, Florida Relay for Life. How do I get the Kill Cigarettes video uploaded to my site?
Thanks,
Audrey

Get the page looking how you want it to look. Go to YouTube and copy the "embed" link. Go back to the page you're editing and click "Disable wysiwyg." Amonst all the html, paste the embed link, then hit save.
This is the easiest way I have found to put video up. For some reason, you can't paste it in to html or in wysiwyg, but if you disable then paste, it works.
If all you need is a "click here to view video" link, you'll have to go to YouTube, find the video, click on it and you'll get its URL. Copy and paste that URL into the text of your Event home page.
For an embedded image of the video (as you see on the left nav here and in the lower half of the blueprint home page, the steps are a bit more involved. Danny Bu, eRevenue Director for South Atlantic, is way more knowleable than I in this area, and offered the following. Try it out if you're comfortable using the HTML editor in the EMC and let us know how it worked out. I'll try to validate and possibly write up an IG on it.

========= Danny's instructions follow ==========
If you double click on any YouTube video it takes you to the YouTube page where the video is placed.
- To the right of every video there is a box that says "Embed."
- If you double click on the contents within the "Embed" box and click "CTRL+C" it will place code that looks like this in your clipboard:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FtuJ6bexDH4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FtuJ6bexDH4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
- Paste this code into Notepad
- Everywhere it says width="425" change to width="250"
- Everywhere it says height="344" change to height="202"
- Go to EMC Greeting Page or Custom Page
- Click Edit
- Disable WYSIWYG and paste this edited code into your page where the video is to be
- Click save.
Please note: If you paste without editing the height and width it will keep the original size of the video which may look too large with the rest of your content.
You can't embed the video on the left nav of your Event Website. The Convio environment only permits edits of links that are displayed. Your embeded video needs to be displayed in the editable text area of the page.
This site, relayforlife.org, isn't managed through Convio technology, so it has features that aren't available to Relay Event sites. (It also requires Web programming skills that are beyond what's expected of volunteer Relay Online Chairs.)

PS: I infer you did ok with Danny's instructions. Please do provide a link to your Event home page when you're done.
Hi Rick: Like I said, I was able to get the video onto a custom page. I was thrilled! The other two videos I have on my nav bar take you directly to YouTube. I don't like that. The Kill Cigarettes video takes you to my "custom" page and then you can see it from there without it linked to YouTube.
I am the one who signed up yesterday from Florida. I find your forum topics of great value as I am new as an event manager for the Cape Coral Relay Site. I will send my site to you. Make sure you check my blog. There are links on the site.
