Your Media Library is where Cornerspot keeps the images and videos you reuse across your website, forms, and emails. You can add videos two ways — paste a link to a video hosted on YouTube, or upload an MP4 or WebM file directly. This guide walks through both, starting with the quickest: pasting a link.
How to add a video to your Media Library
You’ll find everything on the Media Library page. Here’s the quickest path, start to finish.
1. Open the Media Library
From the dashboard, select Media in the left-hand menu, under Marketing. This opens your Media Library, with an + Add video button in the top-right corner.
2. Click “+ Add video”
Select + Add video to open the Add video panel. It slides in from the right and gives you two ways to add a video: paste a Video URL, or upload a file.
3. Paste a video URL
The fastest option is to paste a link. Drop a YouTube URL into the Video URL field — Cornerspot accepts the standard formats, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…, https://youtu.be/…, and Shorts links.
4. Add an optional name
You can give the video a name and a short description, and tag it with a category, so it’s easy to find later. These are all optional — leave them blank and Cornerspot will still save the video.
5. Save the video
When everything looks right, click Add video. The video is saved and appears right away in your Media Library, ready to drop into your website, forms, or emails.
Uploading a video file instead
Prefer to host the video yourself? In the same Add video panel, use the file uploader instead of the URL field:
- Drag and drop or browse: Drop your file onto the uploader, or click to browse and pick it from your computer.
- Supported formats: Cornerspot accepts MP4 and WebM files, up to 50MB each.
- Optional details: Just like the link option, you can add a name, description, and category before saving.
Click Add video to finish, and the uploaded file joins your library alongside any linked videos.
Tips for managing your videos
- Use a clear, consistent name so a video is easy to find when you search the library.
- Apply a category to group related videos and filter them quickly later.
- Use the Images, Videos, and source tabs at the top of the library to narrow what you’re looking at.
- Keep file uploads under the 50MB limit — for longer or higher-resolution videos, hosting on YouTube and pasting the link is often the easier route.
