About External Media
The External Media content type can be used to bring external media into Cogniss. It acts as a web wrapper allowing video players and audio players to be easily integrated into your Cogniss application.
To use this content type, simply:
Create a new content block by clicking the Create new content block button
Assign a Data Label to the content block
Select EXTERNAL_MEDIA as the content type
Add the URL of the media you would like to display
Click Save Changes
Note: When bringing in media hosted on another platform (i.e. YouTube, Vimeo, Soundcloud etc.) you'll need to use the 'embed URL' from the player itself, rather than the page URL the media is hosted on. This URL can usually be found in the sharing settings of the player itself.
