Give your piece records an extra boost by incorporating multimedia elements such as videos and audio files. These features, available for all account types, provide a more immersive experience for viewers. Whether it's a time-lapse video of your painting technique, a narration about the history of your collection, or ambient audio for your installation, these multimedia additions can significantly enrich the viewer's understanding and appreciation of a piece.
Adding Videos to Individual Piece Records:
Click on "Add Video Links" in your piece record.
The platform supports videos from YouTube and Vimeo.
Copy and paste your video link into the top field.
Add a short caption for the video.
Publishing Videos on Your Public Profile
By default, your videos are private to your account. To make them public:
Go to My Profile on the left-hand menu.
Click on Public Settings tab from the top menu
Scroll down to the Public Profile Options > Data Settings
Select Show Embedded Videos from Video Links
This action will make all videos uploaded to your piece records public. The videos will then appear when clicking into the artwork record that you have made public on your Public Profile.
Note: YouTube does not allow the "Shorts" view of videos to be embedded on other sites. Use the full video player URL instead. To convert a 'short' URL to a full video player URL, replace the word 'Shorts' with 'Watch' in the URL.
