Embedding Video from Youtube, Instagram and Vimeo

Standard embed codes provided by social media sites may be copy and pasted into a WYSIWYG Editor or directly into the content model HTML view file.

In youtube, click share, then click the embed option to get this view.

Web Developers can take advantage of parsley by adding a field to a content model called "youtube_id" (for example), and can make dynamic template views by using code like this:

Streaming Video

For running your own stream, we suggest using a third party like Mux.com. A Mux stream can be put into any Zesty.io view, and a content model field and parsley can be used to give the Content Editor control of the stream id. In this example, we use the field name playback_id for the Mux stream ID

Video Conferencing

You can run your own video conferencing setup on Zesty.io using Vidyo (https://www.vidyo.com/), create an account. The setup requires view editing with javascript and an external server server call to issue a connection token.
