Tip
  • If your video doesn’t show in the editor, add the URL link to the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allowed programs list so Salesforce can access the link and show the video.
  • To set up your video to play automatically, replace watch with embed in the video URL. Type autoplay=1 and mute=1 in the URL to give your users a better video experience.
    Embed video in URL for autoplay
