We support a number of upload sources at Waybook including YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Loom and Berrycast.

Embedding videos can make the steps of your documents more engaging, help to demonstrate key practices within your business and help to condense big chunks of text into easy-to-digest videos.

At Waybook, we're pleased to offer limitless HTML embedding so you shouldn't have any difficulty embedding videos from your team's favourite video platform using an HTML embed code. However, we have covered the specific steps for embedding videos from some of the most commonly used sources below.

If you have any questions or difficulty following any of the steps below please reach out to the support team and we'll be happy to help.


Waybook Tip 💡

We are unable to support CNAME links for any of the following platforms. If you use CNAME, simply reformat your link following the example structures or reach out to the support team for help.
