Media (Image/Video)
Images and videos can be embedded on your website using the Media (Image/Video) content type.
Videos should not be embedded in the WYSIWYG editor. In order to be responsive, videos should be added using an appropriate Content Type.
(See a sample of a video using the Media Content Type on the bottom of this page. Below that, see a sample of an image carousel.)
