Adding videos to your website is a great tool, not only to promote your brand but also to entertain and engage your visitors. The Video Feature in Sitebeat makes it easy for you to add and customise videos to achieve your website goals.

Add videos on your website and customise them using the steps below:

1. Log In to access the Sitebeat dashboard.
2. Under My Sites, click the Edit Site option of the website that you wish to manage.

Note: If you want to edit a new site, you have to unpublish the current website and make your new site as your primary website.

Under My Sites, click the [...] Ellipsis Icon on the top-right corner of the website to unpublish the current site. Click Unpublish Site, and then click Yes, Unpublish to confirm.

In the pop-up window, select the domain of the new website in the New Primary Domain list, then click Replace Primary. You can also click the Domains tab under My Sites to perform the necessary steps mentioned.

You can now edit the new site that you wish to manage.
