Embed YouTube Videos with Workspace Builder Prompts

To add a YouTube video, paste the YouTube link directly into the prompt and tell CloudMySite where the video should appear.

There is no separate YouTube upload button in the workspace. The builder uses your written request and the public YouTube URL to create the video section.

Basic YouTube Embed Prompt​

Embed this YouTube video on the homepage under the hero section:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID

Add a title above it, a short description below it, and make the video responsive on mobile.

Where You Can Add Videos​

Common placements include:

  • homepage hero section
  • product demo section
  • tutorial page
  • course lesson page
  • testimonials page
  • portfolio case study
  • event recap page
  • support or onboarding page

Prompt Examples​

Add a product demo:

Add a Product Demo section below the pricing section.
Embed this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
Use a clean video card, a short intro paragraph, and a button that says Book a Demo.

Create a tutorial page:

Create a Tutorials page with this YouTube video at the top:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
Add three short steps below the video that explain what the viewer will learn.

Replace an existing video:

Replace the current video in the About page with this YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
Keep the same section layout and update the caption to match the new video.

Use a video as a feature section:

Add a wide video section after the hero.
Embed this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
Place the video on the left and a short feature list on the right on desktop.
Stack them on mobile.

What to Include in the Prompt​

For the best result, include:

  • the exact YouTube URL
  • the page where it belongs
  • the section placement
  • a title or heading
  • a short description or caption
  • whether the video should be wide, centered, in a card, or side-by-side with text
  • the mobile behavior, such as stacked or full width
  • any button or call to action near the video
  • Use a public YouTube link.
  • Standard youtube.com/watch and youtu.be links are easiest.
  • Private videos usually will not display for visitors.
  • If a video is unlisted, test the final page to confirm it loads.
  • Avoid uploading a video file as an image attachment. Use the YouTube URL in the prompt instead.

Preview and Publish Checks​

After CloudMySite adds the video:

  1. Open Preview.
  2. Confirm the video appears in the right section.
  3. Test desktop and mobile layout if the device mode button is available.
  4. Select Refresh if the preview looks stale.
  5. Publish when the page looks correct.

Some third-party video behavior may be easier to test after publishing, especially if the preview browser blocks an external action.
