Video overview

With the exception of silent background videos, in order to add videos to your Run site, you must first upload them to a video hosting service like YouTube, Google Drive, or Vimeo. Using a workaround, you may be able to embed videos from social media platforms but they generally attempt to block it. We've provided a workaround for X/Twitter below.

Once that's done you can copy the URL or embed code from those videos into various places on your Run site. Videos can be embedded on:

We now allow pasting simple links to pages with videos from Youtube and other popular services and our system converts them to embedded videos. However this won't work in all cases.

A video embed code is NOT the URL of the page hosting the video, embed codes usually begin with "<iframe".

Run can support and display all video dimensions correctly. We now provide a ratio section below the video embed code to make it easier for you.

Many of our components that allow videos to be added to them, also allow adding share buttons for site visitors to share that video out to social media platforms.

You should be able to simply copy the URL of the page the video is on and our system will conver automatically to an embed code. If that does not work, here are instructions for getting the embed code.

Go to the page with the video, and below the video click Share, then Embed, and then copy the embed code provided. You can now paste that directly into any video supporting block on your Run site.

Copy the code we've provided here into the Embed area on your Run video component, or somewhere else that you can edit it.

Now, go to the page with the video, and click Share, and copy the URL. Paste the edited URL in between the quotation marks in the code above. Then, replace the word "shorts" with "embed" in the URL>

Then paste the edited code where you need it on the Run site.

In order to embed a video from Google Drive, click the file to open it - at that point the video should be playable and taking up most of the window. Click the three dot icon on the top right of the screen and click Open in New Tab. In the new tab, which will look similar to the last screen, click the three dot icon again, and now you should see the option to Embed Item. Copy the code that comes up and you can now paste that into any video supporting block on your Run site.

Vimeo currently does not provide the embed code in the format required by Run. Here are instructions of how to edit it to work.

Copy the code we've provided here into the Embed area on your Run video component, or somewhere else that you can edit it.

On the Vimeo video you want to embed the video from, click Share > Copy Embed Code. Copy the value inside the "src" tag from the Vimeo-provided embed and paste that into embed code we've provided above.

Then paste the edited code where you need it on the Run site.

*If your video does not have standard dimensions, edit the width and height as well to match your video dimensions.

X does not provide video embed code (they do allow you to embed an entire tweet, which won't help you here). However, we've been able to do it using the following workaround.

Copy the code we've provided here into the Embed area on your Run video component, or somewhere else that you can edit it.

Visit https://twitsave.com, paste the URL of your Tweet into the provided box, and click download. On the new page, right click the video itself and click Copy Video Link. Paste that between the quotes after "src" in the embed code we've provided above.

Then paste the edited code where you need it on the Run site.
