Hosted Document Library Pro can display far more than downloadable files. You can embed audio and video players, and other interactive content such as image galleries, directly inside your library so people can watch and listen without leaving the page. This article explains how to add embedded media to your documents.
Add media to the content of a document
The simplest place to add an embedded player is the Description field on the Add Document screen. For the players to appear, switch on Shortcodes and media on the Advanced tab of your settings, and display the content column in your library.
To embed a video from a service such as YouTube or Vimeo, paste its share link into the Description field on its own line, and it turns into a working player automatically. The same works for many other popular media services that support embedding.
Upload your own audio or video
If you would rather host the file yourself, you can upload an audio or video file as part of the document, and it will play inline as a media player. Audio files work well this way. For video, a hosting service such as YouTube or Vimeo usually works better, because video files are large and these services handle playback smoothly across all devices.
Link out to media instead
If you do not want to embed a player but still want to point people to a media file, you can add the document as a link. On the Add Document screen, paste the URL of the audio file or the page on a service such as YouTube or SoundCloud, and the library entry will open that link when clicked.
Check it in your library
Once you have saved the document, open your library and confirm the embedded players appear and work as expected.
