In the Layouts editor #

1. Open Layouts > Layouts and the layout Landing Page / Home; the editor opens it in a draft.
2. Open the block palette (+ at the top left) and drag External video (group Basic) into the zone main.
3. Select the block, open the Design tab and fill Video URL or embed src, Width (px or %) (default 100%), Height (px) (default 360) and Autoplay.
4. Publish layout. The pages that use the layout show the block on their next view.

The site has a video section (Video, node 164) with NG Video content; to show those, use a List block with a collection instead.

With templates #

1. Show a video content item with its own view, so the site's video consent handling applies; the theme loads exp-youtube-consent.css for that.

Which to choose #

A one-off video: the block. Videos that are content (with titles, descriptions, search): NG Video items.

Check #

• The video starts only when the visitor asks, unless Autoplay is set.
