Adding videos in articles

Plans supporting the addition of videos in articles

Videos can explain complex concepts better than text alone. They make it easier for users to understand instructions, tutorials, and detailed processes. Videos capture attention and keep users engaged longer than plain text. In Document360, by using Insert video and Insert file options in the toolbar you can add videos to the article and category pages.
