Videos

Heretto CCMS enables you to insert videos into topics. Videos can provide concepts or tasks in a different format to the reader. We recommend inserting videos from external services like YouTube or Vimeo. Online videos can be embedded into your content for digital productions.

Note: You can also insert a video from the Content Library. However, we strongly recommend using an external video hosting service instead.
