Playing video using rich text editor

[Vijaya_Immadise]

Hi,

I have a requirement. where user has to author the link for videos using rich text and that should be played in the same page.

Ex: external site videos : You tube videos.

If author has authored you tube video link . then that should also be played in the same page. but it is opening in the new page even I gave the target as _self.

Any one can help on this.

Thank you in advance

Hi Vijaya,

You can use below code snippet as a reference in source edit of the RTE.

<p>Open link in a same window or tab: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8SCBUgv2TE" target="_self">Adobe Experience Manager Explained</a></p>

Also you can refer to the Adobe post for more details on RTE.

Thanks,

A RTE is typically to edit text and the text is then displayed on a page. If you want to render a video in your site, you should use a video component. We are going to release a new video component article soon:

Hi Scott,

What if the requirement calls for a video player other than YouTube (re: Brightcove)?
