How to add videos

2 min. readlast update: 10.17.2023

The first thing to note is that we do not host videos on Touch Stay, we only embed them from other sources. Videos need to be available on either YouTube, Vimeo or Wistia to be used in Touch Stay. 

To add a video simply copy the share URL from the video sharing platform into the video upload box and you will then be able to add that video to your Topics. Note that you must have the privacy settings on your video set to allow public access, if you do not want your video to be returned in search results for YouTube then select “Unlisted” (do not select “Private” otherwise only you will be able to view it!).

There are two ways to add videos:

  1. At the top of the Topic box - ideal if you want just one video in a Topic
  2. Inline with your Topic text at any position in the Topic box - ideal if you want to add multiple videos to a single Topic
