Good afternoon all. Is there a simple way of getting YouTube videos into Elements sites? I used to use a YT stack in RW but obviously there’s no option for that in Elements. I have 12-15 videos that I want to add to the site so getting them all in as resource and using the video component might not be ideal.

You can add YouTube or Vimeo videos by dragging and dropping the URL from your web browser to the Resources area in RapidWeaver Elements. A playlist URL can also be dropped into the resources area!

You can then use those linked resources in the Gallery or Video component 🙂

We really need to do an up-to-date video on how this all works, I’ll try to get that done next week!
