Insert/Import video into the post ​

Sarsa has video posts: a post with the Video format shows a play button on its picture, and opens the video in a pop-up.

Make a video post ​

Go to Admin -> Blog -> Posts and edit (or create) a post.

  1. In the Format box on the right, choose Video.
  2. In the Video box below the content, paste the link of the video in Video Embed URL (a YouTube or Vimeo link, for example). Sarsa plays this link. The Video Embed Code field and the Upload Video (.mp4) tab are stored with the post but the theme does not use them.
