There are instances when we want to add a video on our site, but it's blocked by China's great firewall. No need to worry; you may use Youku as a replacement for YouTube or Vimeo. You can embed a Youku video using the "Big Media" or "Gallery" section. Here's how you do it.
Step 1: Get the link from Youko
-
Go to the Youku video that you want to embed on your site.
-
Get the link to the video that you want to show. Example link:
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODU1NzgzMTg0.htmlGet the highlighted part of the URL like the one on the screenshot below:
Step 2: Add it to your site
- Go to your site editor and click on the "Add New Section" button in the left panel.
- From the left panel, look for the "Big Media" section from the list.
- Once the section is added, click on the Big Media section to edit.
- Click on the "Video" tab and paste the URL link of your Youku video. Don't forget to click "Save".
