How to Add Off-Site Video or Slideshow Using Full Screen Mode

YouTube iFrame code

To use the built-in FASO video feature see this FAQ:
How to Upload Videos ~ for Sale or for Free Viewing


If you create a video in or upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, Cincopa or a similar online video-sharing resource, it can be added to your FASO site. 

Your video-sharing resource will provide a code for you to use.

The following steps are specifically for YouTube.

NOTE: Your video or slideshow will play directly from your page without the user leaving your site or needing to install QuickTime. 


Easily Drop in YouTube Videos using Full Screen Mode

Step One: Copy the code from YouTube code as follows.

  • Below your video (on YouTube), Click Share

  • Click COPY 
    (you should get this message on your computer screen: Link copied to clipboard)


NOTE: if attempting to add a short reel, be sure to use the correct url. 
A youtube.com/shorts url will not load.

Example:
https://youtube.com/shorts/Yn0---------R4
needs to be 
https://youtu.be/Yn0---------R4
You can simply change the url.

Or you can 
• right click on the video

  • Login to FASO Control Panel

Add the code to your FASO account:
