Volusion Adds YouTube Integration

If you’re on version 11 of Volusion you may have noticed a new feature on your product admin pages: support for YouTube videos.  Although adding a YouTube video was never really difficult this new feature makes it very easy for the beginner to add it to their product pages.

Uploading a YouTube Video to Volusion

To add a video simply follow these steps:

1. Edit the product you wish to associate the video with in Volusion and open the YouTube section.
2. Click "Add Video" and paste in the YouTube URL.
   
3. If you’d like to rearrange the videos and what order they show in your product description, simply drag and drop them.
   

When completed, your product page will display your content right after the product description:

Formatting Your Video

You'll probably want to format your video placement and spacing and luckily Volusion includes a CSS class called "video_container" so you can control it.  If you want to center it, put this into your template’s CSS file:

[css].video_container { text-align: center; } [/css] [content_box style="gray-box" title="About Erik Ellsworth"] Erik is the President for Convergent7 SEO Services.  He's always trying to improve your rankings and conversions.   And, he's a big NHL hockey fan. [/content_box]
