I have RW 8.5, Stacks 4, and Foundry. I am attempting to add a 7 minute video. How does one do that?

The VideoEmbed widget seems to have some simple prerecorded images in it.

Videos are very heavy on bandwidth usage. If you are on a shared server it may be a struggle to get them to play without interruptions.

Most people put their videos on Vimeo, Youtube or similar.

The Video Embed that came with Foundry uses those services. You simply pick the Source (Vimeo, YouTube or Wistia) enter the ID for that video and select the Aspect Ratio.
