# How do I create a "Video" card in ovos play?

With video cards, you can display a video as an entire card.

You can use the "Video" template for a content card with video. The video can be an uploaded MP4 file or embedded via Youtube/Vimeo.

## Create a video card

To create a card from the "Video" template, click on the **Add card** button within a deck.

First assign a **name** for the card. The video card must also have an uploaded or embedded video.

## Add a video

To embed a video, you can either upload an MP4 file or embed a video via an external video service.

## **Upload video**

Select Upload video to upload your video as an MP4 file via drag and drop or by clicking on the video field.

Note: Other video files are allowed, but may not play on all devices used.

An uploaded image shows the first frame of the video as a preview image by default. You can also add your own thumbnail as an image. To do this, upload an image in the Preview image field.

## **Insert Youtube Video ID**

To add a YouTube video, search for the desired video on YouTube and click on **Share**. A new window will open. Copy the link from YouTube and paste it under **Youtube Video ID** in the administration tool. The ID is automatically taken from the link. The video should now appear in the map preview.

## **Insert Vimeo ID**

The same steps apply for Vimeo as for YouTube above. You will find the share button at the top right of Vimeo.

## **Preview**

You can check your videos at any time in the preview on the right-hand side. After inserting the Youtube or Vimeo ID, the preview is automatically updated, which may take a few seconds. If no video appears, please check the ID or reload.
