Adding Hyperlink Videos to Custom Forms

• If you'd like to add videos to your custom forms to provide families video content, we recommend creating a hyperlink that will direct the parents/students to a new tab where the video is located (YouTube, Vimeo or any other hosted link).

How To Link Videos in Custom Forms:

• Step 1: Create a hyperlink using the following string example:

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank">Visit W3Schools!</a>

• Step 2: Just replace the URL "http://www.w3schools.com/" with your own URL and the text "Visit W3Schools!" with your own text.
• *Pro tip:  Add the <u> </u> operators outside of this string to make the hyperlink underlined.

Known Limitations - Challenges of Embedding Videos Directly in Forms

• We'd like to highlight that you may also choose to embed the video directly in the custom form
• (using the <iframe> tag).
• However, it is not recommended to embed a video directly in the form because when printed, forms with embedded videos will be exported in html format instead of PDF format.
