Adding Videos

Enthral your audiences with not only interesting prose but also real live moving pictures! Our video feature enables Hail users to add even more dynamic content to their articles and publications.

✅ Before getting started in Hail, make sure your video has been uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo. Copy the link from there and get ready to follow the instructions below...


  1. Head to your Media Library section in the left-hand side menu.
  2. Navigate to the videos tab:

  1. Click the green + Video at the top and insert the video's YouTube or Vimeo URL.

Whenever you add videos they’ll end up in the video browser. From there you can click on them to review the video title and description, and add tags which will be displayed when added to articles and publications, and help you search for specific videos in the future.


Privacy settings for Video links: On YouTube you can upload public, and unlisted videos to Hail, but not private videos. On Vimeo, public videos can be uploaded to Hail. However, Vimeo have different privacy settings and that affects uploading. If you change the "embed privacy" to anywhere - which means that you can embed your video on an external website (like Hail) it should upload correctly.
