YouTube and Vimeo Videos

EnaCast lets you manage an integrated video library on your station’s website. You can add videos from YouTube and Vimeo, organize them with tags, and display them on your site’s pages.

Adding a Video

Log in to the EnaCast admin panel
Go to the Videos section
Click Add video
Fill in the fields:
- Name: the video title
- Description (optional): a short description of the content
- Video URL: the full YouTube or Vimeo video URL
- Tags (optional): select one or more tags to categorize the video
- Order: a number to control the display order
- Pin to top: enable this option if you want the video to always appear first
Save the video

Supported Platforms

Platform	Accepted URL Formats
YouTube	`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...`, `https://youtu.be/...`
Vimeo	`https://vimeo.com/...`

Video Tags

Just like news articles, videos can be organized with tags. Video tags are separate from news tags and let you create specific categories for your video library.

For example, you could create tags like:

Interviews
Reports
Live
Music clips

Creating a Video Tag

In the Videos section, go to Video tags
Click Create tag
Enter the name, slug (URL identifier), and optionally a description
Save the tag

Pinning a Video

You can pin a video so it always appears at the top of the list. Additionally, you can set a pin expiration date: once that date is reached, the video will be automatically unpinned.

This is useful for highlighting important content for a limited time, such as a special interview or event coverage.

Playback Statistics

EnaCast records the play count for each video. You can view this information from the admin panel to see which videos generate the most interest from your audience.

Displaying Videos on Your Website

Videos can be shown on your website in two ways:

YouTube Module in Modular Pages

When creating or editing a modular page, you can add a YouTube module that displays videos from different sources:

Source Type	Description
Channel	Shows the latest videos from a YouTube channel
Playlist	Shows videos from a YouTube playlist
Single video	Displays a single embedded video
Managed videos	Shows videos manually added in the EnaCast videos section, optionally filtered by tag
