Inserting videos on the page
Wild Apricot allows you to add video clips to play on your site. These video clips are limited to the individual file size allowed by your billing plan (see Pricing).
If you need to use larger video files you can upload them to a video sharing site (see Adding Video clips for more information).
Upload video file
You should upload your file using the File Manager (To help keep track of everything, we recommend that you create a folder called "videos")
