Gateway Video

Use the Gateway Video content type to add a video to a gateway page.

How to embed external videos

To add an external video, simply adding a URL from your browser might not work. If you're having issues getting your video to show up, go to the video on YouTube, click on "Share" and then "Embed". Then select and copy only the embed URL (it will be in a string of HTML between quotation marks).

What it will look like

Below is an example of several stacked Gateway videos.

What to include on gateway pages

On gateway pages, we want to help users by telling them a little about the document, map, form or video available on the page.

Steps

  1. Include all of the following content types on a gateway page, in this order:
    • Page header and summary
    • Gray content type (see step 2)
    • Group heading that says "Document(s)" "Map" "Video" or "Form".
      • You may be specific. For example, "[City event] sign-up form"
    • Gateway document(s) or embed
    • Contact us (Optional)
  2. Add one of the following content types:
    • Content with gray background content type
    • Multicolumn content gray (Good when you have a lot of information)
  3. Choose one of four headings for the gray background content type: "Before you begin", "What to know", "What to do", or "How to use the map".

See heading option details with examples

When to use

You will use the Gateway Video content type on Gateway pages. This content type is especially useful for uploading multiple language versions of a video.
