Adding videos to sliders and top banners

Edited

Springnest offers a prominent way to present videos from Youtube or Vimeo on your website. These can be used within sliders or top banners across your web pages; once you've pasted the video URL into the Link field, it is automatically recognised as a video link, and behaves accordingly. 

In this example, we're adding a video to the homepage top banner:
