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
  • Using video modules inside page templates

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

Embedding Videos from External Platforms

The most common method of adding videos in HubSpot Content Hub is embedding videos from external platforms.

To embed a video:

  1. Copy the video embed code from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo
  2. Open the page editor in HubSpot
  3. Insert a rich text or video module
  4. Paste the embed code

The video will then appear on the page.

Uploading Videos to File Manager

HubSpot also allows users to upload video files directly into the HubSpot Content Hub File Manager.

To upload a video:

  1. Go to Content → File Manager
  2. Click Upload Files
  3. Select the video file

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

Using Video Modules

Some themes and templates include video modules that allow editors to easily add videos to pages.

These modules typically allow you to:

  • Paste a video URL
  • Upload a video file
  • Add a video thumbnail or preview image

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

Key Takeaway

HubSpot Content Hub makes it easy to add videos and embedded media to websites using video modules, embed codes, or uploaded media files. By combining written content with video elements, teams can create more engaging pages that communicate ideas more effectively.
