How Do HubSpot Content Hub Videos and Embedded Media Work?

Videos and embedded media are commonly used on modern websites to explain products, share tutorials, or engage visitors. HubSpot Content Hub allows users to easily add videos and other embedded media to pages, blog posts, and landing pages.

Instead of relying only on text and images, videos can help communicate ideas more clearly and improve user engagement.

Understanding how HubSpot Content Hub videos and embedded media work helps teams create more interactive and engaging website content.

Ways to Add Videos in HubSpot Content Hub

There are several ways to add videos to pages in HubSpot Content Hub.

Common options include:

• Embedding videos from platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo
• Uploading video files directly to the File Manager

Most websites prefer embedding videos from platforms like YouTube because it reduces the load on the website hosting system.

To embed a video:

3. Select the video file

Once uploaded, the video can be embedded into pages using its file URL.

Using Video Modules

• Add a video thumbnail or preview image

Video modules simplify the process of embedding videos while maintaining design consistency.
