How to insert a video into a news
Here's a tutorial on how to use this function, which enhances the possibilities of your news.
Today's “how-to” is for publishing a video on a news page. We're delighted to be able to announce that this idea of the Exhibitors' Committee has been incorporated into the 2025 news portal.
To get started, log on to www.siams.ch with your login details. Once logged in, open the “news” panel and select “New”.
As with a traditional news item, you can choose the publication date, enter the title, the short description (which will appear on the home page) and the text. This can be in French, German or English. You can also publish the news in one or two languages only.
Once you have written your text, place the cursor where you want to insert the video and click on the video button. A window will open. Paste the YouTube address of the film and confirm.
Please note that the YouTube address to use is the URL of the video (!) and not the < embed code>. The video will remain on YouTube.
The video will appear small in the editing window. Then go to the bottom of the page to insert an image (to illustrate the news item) and confirm.
Once the news item has been validated, you will automatically return to the news summary page. You can select it and see what the news will look like by choosing ‘preview’.
And it's done ;o)
We hope you'll be able to upload lots of videos using this simple function.👍😁.
