How do I add a video to my website?

To add a video to the 188bet±¸ÓÃÍøÖ· College website, the Office of Marketing and CommunicationsÌýwill first need to review it for accessibility and content. Once approved, they will add it to the 188bet±¸ÓÃÍøÖ· College Youtube channel which we can then embed on your website. We use YouTube as it prevents large files from living on the Web Server, which will slowÌýdown theÌýwebsite.

To start the process, please submit aÌýweb help formÌýand we will advise you on how best to share the video file to start the process.
