Adding videos to a BC site via a web app

Question

I saw a MaxTempo template that people can use for their Business Catalyst site (http://www.tribevita.com/adobe-business-catalyst-templates/e-commerce/max-tempo-ecom) that consists of a web app that allows the adding and displaying of videos. I saw a video that illustrates how to do this, but not in detail. I would like to know how to add and display videos to a BC site by using a web app. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

To do this, you will need a fundamental understanding of how web apps work and function. Once you understand how they work, then you
can visualize the fields you will need to do this. You can also allow users to upload videos as well. YOu need to define the way you want it to work.
I would assume to create a video web app, you need to set your fields, for small thumbnail, large thumbnail, video player [text description large]
If you are embedding youtube videos then you can just copy paste the embed code into the video player field you define. If you have a custom player then it gets a bit tricky but not that complicated to do.
Hope this helps.
