Video

Before you add a video you'll need to:

• check if the video has already been added to Drupal. See how to search for and update videos
• upload it to a video hosting platform, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Make sure you use an appropriate UQ account, rather than one associated with an individual staff member
• add captions for any spoken content as a minimum. If you are using auto-generated captions, make sure you check them against the video and make all necessary corrections.

To add a new video:

1. Once you log into Drupal, hover over 'Content' in the Drupal menu then select 'Media' > 'Add media' > 'Remote video'.
2. Enter a name. You'll search for this name when you add the video to pages, so make sure it's distinct and descriptive.
3. Enter the URL for the video.
4. On Study, if the video should display for domestic or international users only, select the relevant student region.
5. Save.

Create a section, then add an image panel (block) to the section. You can only add image panels to the Section (Design Systems) section type.

Add a section

1. Select 'Add section'.
2. Choose the layout ‘Section (Design Systems)’.
3. Complete the fields:
   • Administrative label (optional) – This label isn’t visible to users. Use it to help other people editing your page understand the intent of the section.
   • Student type (Study website only) – choose from 'Domestic', 'International' or 'Both'.
4. Select 'Add section'. This adds your section to the landing page.

Add an image panel block

1. Select 'Add block' in your new section.
2. Select 'Create content block'.
3. Choose 'Image panel'.
4. Choose which fields to complete depending on the purpose of your content.
   • Title – add a title for your image panel. Use titles that set clear expectations for users about the content in the image panel and links.
   • Body – outline the main idea, don't overload with information. Link to other content if you need to provide more detail. 
   • Media
     1. Select 'Add media' .
     2. Select 'Remote media'.
     3. Either add a new video or choose an existing one from the media library. Use the filters to narrow your search.
     4. Tick the required video.
     5. Select 'Insert selected'.
   • CTA links – add a URL you want the image panel  to link to. If the linked page is on the same site, type the page name and select it rather than pasting an absolute URL.
   • Link text – use short and meaningful link text that sets clear expectations for users about the content the image panel links to.
   • Block style – choose from 'Media left' or 'Media right'. In most cases, use 'Media right' to help users scan your page.
   • Panel background – choose from 'White', 'Bordered' or 'Shaded'.
   • Student type (Study website only) – choose from 'Domestic', 'International' or 'Both'.
5. Select 'Add block'. This adds your card to the section.

If a video has been updated with a new version, you can replace it in Drupal. This will update it everywhere it's already used on the site. You can also edit the name of the video if needed.

To update a video:

1. Once you log into Drupal, hover over 'Content' in the Drupal menu then select 'Media'.
2. Search for the video (filtering by content type: 'Remote video' can help narrow down the results).
3. Select 'Edit' for the relevant page.
4. Update the name or URL as needed.
5. Save.
