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:

  1. Create a new content block by clicking the Create new content block button

  2. Assign a Data Label to the content block

  3. Select EXTERNAL_MEDIA as the content type

  4. Add the URL of the media you would like to display

  5. Click Save Changes

📌 When adding a YouTube video you can simply use the URL as Cogniss now supports direct video URLs, so there's no need to use an embed link.
