Monitoring and Alerting in 3 Easy Steps[edit]

Supported MediaWiki[edit]

Local (on-wiki)[edit]

Local video files are displayed in a player automatically. For example, File:Dave_Matthews_Band_-_You_Me.mp4 is automatically handed over to an HTML5 video player just by linking normally to the file.

You type	You get
[[File:Dave_Matthews_Band_-_You_Me.mp4]] Note: there are more options to media file linking, but this example shows the bare minimum.	Load video Local File Local File might collect personal data.

Cloud (e.g. YouTube)[edit]

Video files hosted on any of the 30 supported platforms including YouTube, Vimeo, TED Talks, & Archive.org can be displayed/played easily.

You type	You get
{{#ev:youtube\|FVztZI-OMUg\|720\|right\|Michael Franti & Spearhead - Good to be Alive Today (Acoustic remix)\|frame}} There seems to be a weird thing going on with the link format. In order to get options like a frame and a caption, it's probably best to use the full URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID). If you don't care about the formatting of the video box, you can just use the video ID in your link.	Load video YouTube YouTube might collect personal data.
