How to Add a Video to Your Fundraiser

Easily showcase your story by adding a YouTube video to your fundraiser page. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to embed a video using a YouTube link.

Adding a video to your fundraiser helps engage supporters and bring your cause to life. Currently, Trellis supports YouTube links only (Vimeo support is planned for the future). If you don't already have a video uploaded, we recommend creating a private YouTube channel, uploading your video there, and using the link to add it to your fundraiser.

How to Add a Youtube Video

1. Select Where to Insert Your Video

  • Navigate to the location on your page where you'd like the video to appear.

  • Click the blue plus (+) button to add a new section.

2. Choose a Custom Section

  • From the list of section types, select Custom.

3. Choose the Layout

  • Decide on your layout preference:

    • One Column: Displays the video larger and more prominently.

    • Two Column: Allows you to place the video alongside text, another video, or an image.

  • Then click the 3 dot icon to choose the type of content that appears in that section. Select Video.

4. Add the YouTube Video Link

  • Once video is selected, paste your YouTube video link into the provided field.

  • The video will automatically display on your fundraiser page.

5. Update or Replace the Video (Optional)

  • To change the video later, simply replace the existing YouTube link with a new one.

That's it! Your video is now live and ready to inspire your supporters.
