Integrating a Video on the Home Page of your Website

Updated over 3 months ago

Displaying a video of your establishment on the home page of your site can considerably increase the perception of the quality of your address among Internet users.

More lively and more faithful to the atmosphere that can be found on your premises, video is an excellent way of promoting your establishment.

Important to note:

  • If you display a video on your elloha website, this does not mean that your photos are removed from the home page: they can be accessed via a photo gallery

  • Furthermore, in mobile mode, for reasons of bandwidth, the photos will be displayed by default and not the video, which is the case on every site on the planet (until the arrival of a more powerful network in the future, of course...)

  • Video sound will not be integrated, for optimum convenience for visitors to your elloha site

  • On the Typhoon and Ulysse models, the video will be placed at the bottom of the home page

  • The Freya model cannot accommodate a video on the home page

What do you need to do?

  • Your video must be hosted on YouTube. If you don't already have an account, you can create one (it's free!) directly on YouTube. Please note that you'll need a Gmail address (also free!).

  • Once you've uploaded your video to YouTube, retrieve the video identifier (the ID in YouTube parlance) that you want to put on the home page of your elloha site:

    • Click on Share

      • Then, copy only the ID number of your video without copying the beginning of the address; do not copy the part including "https://youtu.be/"

  • Now on the elloha side:

    • In the Main Menu, on the left of your screen, go to the Website menu

    • Then click on the Configuration tab

    • And then click on the Modules tab

    • To record the ID for your YouTube video, you'll need to use the same method as for the Tripadvisor widget: activate the video widget

    • and paste your YouTube ID (made up of 11 characters) into the field : that's it!

    • Don't forget to click on the Refresh my site function so that the video is activated on your site: once again, well done!
