Important Notes

  • After a video is uploaded to CivicMedia, the Video Hosting site encodes and optimizes the video for web streaming. This process will use space in addition to the video's original file size. The amount of space that is added depends on the resolution selected for the streaming video. Videos encoded at 720p will use more space than those encoded at 480p.
  • The default encoding resolution can be updated in the Properties tab of the CivicMedia module.
  • If you are broadcasting a video, it will not show until you start the live streaming. When you start the live streaming the video will show as the first video in the channel that is selected.

    ^^ This. Can't seem to get the video to cleanly embed in a page. Can't find the solution or best practice in help center.

    Hi -

    You can find information on how to embed a CivicMedia video into a page with our article here: https://www.civicengage.civicplus.help/hc/en-us/articles/360017768354

    Basically, you will grab the video's embed code and paste that embed code into a Custom HTML widget on your page.

    Thank you,
    Your Help Center Team
