Embedding a youtube video inline with the content didn’t work for me. So is there any way to add an additional youtube video to a product page?
Also, on a similar note I wanted to use one of the static images as the first thing that shows up on the product page and have the videos as options that users could click on. However it seems having a video overrides the default images. Are there any plans to change or improve the media management on Tindie?
I don’t think you can embed another video in the description using markdown. Unfortunately the easiest solution is to just link to it.
But you are correct the video is first by default. We don’t have any plans on changing this at this time. If there is mass demand for it we can but tbh it hasn’t been something I’ve gotten much demand for. After two years of making lots of changes, trying to leaves things rather stable and fix the little things atm.
Totally understandable. I just throw stuff out there as I notice it. Many people, including those on my own team, will mention things about various sites and I always ask them if they contacted the site. The answer has always been no. I’m sure there are a lot of opinions that people hold back and don’t give you. I just try to do my part when I can. Hope it’s not too annoying!
My day job consist of me being paid to over analyze processes. I have to ask the question all the time…" If you knew about it…why didn’t you say something". Sometimes things just are not that important to address and other times they just are not noticed. Then there are the times that someone notices a problem and never says anything to anyone.
@ubldit Hi,
I think you can workaround in a couple of ways: The first is simple, put a youtube playlist with the videos joined together in sequence and notice it in the title of the first video, the one that is shown in the product page.
The second way - supposing you have a blog or a site where you add more about your products, but a facebook page maybe sufficient - you can put in the extra documentation the link to your site / facebook page with the embedded videos and notice it in the product details.
Best.
