BrightCove Video

The Brightcove Video component can put a single Brightcove video or a Brightcove playlist on a webpage.

Any webpage requiring a Brightcove Video should at minimum use:

    • should contain header
    • should contain an introduction to the Brightcove Video
  2. Brightcove Video Component

note: If there are multiple videos needed on a page you should put a Text Editor Component before each video.
