Setup

Step 1 – Create or edit your slider

Your first step is to create a new slider or edit an existing one. You can follow along with our documentation for creating your first slider.

Step 2 – Add your videos

Next, from the slider edit screen, select the Select Files from Other Sources button from the Native Slider section.

A window will open and you can click the Insert Videos link on the left and begin adding your videos by completing the required fields to add your videos.

If you’re videos are from YouTube or Vimeo, Soliloquy will grab the poster image for your video to use as a placeholder. If you’re using Self Hosted Videos, you’ll need to manually set a placeholder image for your video.

Step 3 – Publish or Update your slider

Finally, click Publish or Update on your slider to save the changes.

And that’s it!
