How to Add a Video to Your Fundraiser

How to Add a YouTube Video

Add a Custom Section

Navigate to the location on your page where you'd like the video to appear.
Click the blue + button to add a new section.
From the list of section types, select Custom.

Choose a Layout

Select your preferred layout:
- One Column — displays the video larger and more prominently.
- Two Column — lets you place the video alongside text, another video, or an image.
Click the 3-dot icon on the section, then select Video as the content type.

Add the YouTube Link

Paste your YouTube video link into the provided field.
The video will automatically display on your fundraiser page.

Please Note: Trellis does not support autoplay for embedded videos. Visitors will need to click the play button to start the video.

Update or Replace the Video

To swap in a new video later, simply replace the existing YouTube link with a new one in the same field.

Pro Tip: If you don't have a public YouTube video, upload your video to a private YouTube channel and use that link. The video will still display correctly on your fundraiser page.
