The video field is a Collection field which allows you to dynamically insert videos in your designs and template pages.
The Video field is straightforward: from here, we can paste in any link to a YouTube or Vimeo Video. This can be done, of course, in the CMS — or by a collaborator or client in the Editor.
So how do we implement? On the Canvas, we can drag in a Video element from the Elements panel into any Collection List or Collection Page. And when we do that, we can get the Video right from our collection — we can bind it right to the Video field.
Of course, we can format this just as we'd format the element if it was using a static YouTube link. In this case, the Video link that's used here is bound to the Video field in the item that's being referenced.
That's the Video field.
The Video field is a Collection field that allows you to add videos hosted on a third-party site (like YouTube or Vimeo) in the CMS. You can display these videos in Collection lists and on Collection pages. You can also use the video field to filter a Collection list or set conditional visibility on elements in Collection lists and pages.
A video field can be added to a new or existing Collection. In Collection settings, click on New Field and then choose the Video field.
And as with any field, you can specify if the field is required or not.
The video field accepts video links from third-party video hosts like Vimeo and YouTube.
The video field will already work across all devices, so you and your collaborators won’t have to worry about mobile responsiveness.
You and collaborators can add more video content on a Collection page through a rich text field.
You can also access the Video Settings by selecting the text element and either clicking on the settings icon next to the element label on the canvas or by going to the Settings panel (D).
You can remove the connection by unchecking the “Get video from” checkbox under Video Settings.
In some cases, you may choose to have a Collection list that displays only Collection items that have a video field set. For example, if you’re creating a video gallery. To do that:
The filter rules that you can use with the video field are:

In the same way, you can set a conditional visibility rule on a video element in you Collection list or page. This can ensure that video elements will be visible only when a video link is set for a given Collection item.
