A preview or trailer can be added to a video that has been uploaded to your Video Library. To do this, follow the steps below:
-
Log into your Zype account.
-
On the Zype Admin dashboard, click Video Library. Alternatively, on the Zype navigation menu, click Library.
-
From your Video Library, click the title of the video you want to add a preview to. Alternatively, click the Edit button to the right.
-
On the Edit Video page, click the Preview tab.
-
Click the +Choose Video button, then select the video's trailer from your Zype Library.
Note: You will have to upload a preview/trailer as its own video object to the platform. Only self-hosted and Zype-hosted videos are supported for preview/trailers.
In case you need to update the trailer, e.g. a new trailer for the video becomes available, repeat Steps 1-4 above, click the Remove Preview button, then perform Step 5.
