How to Add a Video in a Sidebar
In this article, we will go over the steps necessary for adding a video to any of the website sidebars.
For this example, the site is a Real Estate/Property site, and the video we will add is of a house. The video we are adding is to promote a new house, recently put on the market.
This can be used to sell promotional ad space for existing profiles and external companies.
