You can add videos to the Immerse pages of your Turtl Docs to boost engagement and interactivity. Readers will be able to watch the videos without leaving your content, and you'll be able to collect analytics including video views and average view time.

Videos can be added by uploading a video, choosing from your company's shared media library, your recent history, or by embedding a URL from:

Notes:

  • The maximum file size for the upload option is 20MB.
    Tip: The smaller your video is, the quicker it will load for your readers.

  • By default, videos will start by clicking on the "Play" button. Autoplaying videos in Immerse is currently not enabled in the product, however, depending on the 3rd-party service you are using, this may be possible, for example for Microsoft Stream videos.


Insert your video

Within the Immerse editor, place your cursor where you want to insert your video and select the "Video" widget.

Choose your preferred option.

Example using the embed option:
Paste the URL of the video you want to use and press upload.

Your video widget is now ready within your Doc. Use the content preview to see how it looks.

A thumbnail of your video will now be visible within your content and your readers will be able to view the video directly from within your Turtl Doc.


Add a caption to your video

You can add a caption to the video in the widget settings. Hover over the video and press the settings cog.


How to add a thumbnail

Note: You can only select thumbnails for videos that are uploaded directly from your computer or embedded via a direct link. For videos hosted on third-party sites, Turtl will automatically display the thumbnail provided by the video provider. If you'd like to personalize your thumbnail, be sure to check with the hosting video provider to see if they offer that feature.


Click on the "Edit video URL" icon to access the "Insert video" screen, and then navigate to the embed tab where you can use the slider to choose your desired thumbnail.

Once you have chosen the frame that suits you best, click the "Update" button and your new thumbnail will be updated.


Customizing the Corner Radius of the Video Widget

You have the ability to customize corner radius, providing you with more control over the aesthetic appeal of your videos.

To adjust the corner radius, go to the video configuration settings and click on "Styles".

From there, you can choose to change all corners at once or individually, enter values in em.

The changes are reflected in the preview window.
