Video
Note: In order to add a video to a t4 page it must first be uploaded to one of these three platforms; YouTube, Vimeo or Pantopto.
Videos in highlight boxes are suitable for giving short previews of an event or overviews of your department, but for longer videos consider embedding the video in general content.
Make sure you have added a highlight box widget before continuing.
