Video Embed
This is what the Video Embed content type looks like:
The Video Embed content type is used to embed videos from approved third party sources. These include: Mediasite, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter and Facebook. You will need to copy the embed code from its source and then paste it into the content type.
The key aspect to remember when using this content type is to make sure you add an iFrame title into the embed code, after you have pasted it into the content type. This will help to ensure the content is adhering to Accessibility Guidelines.
