Introduction

This guide demonstrates how to embed images and videos in Guide Steps using the Media Manager.

If you are looking to add dynamic media to a guide, go to Dozuki Integrations Page for more information.

Any changes made to a guide, with the exception of tags and the default language, create a new draft of the guide.

To open the Media Manager from within a guide, click on the Image/Video placeholder.
Click on the Upload Media button.

Copy the URL from the media source.
Paste URL in the Upload URL field below the Drag & Drop field.
This example uses a YouTube video, but Guides also support Vimeo videos and those that support oEmbed.
Click on the Grab media button.
Click on the Media tab in the Display header.
Click on your media to add it to your Guide Step.

Dozuki automatically scales up images that are smaller than 800x600, and scales down large images to fit the frame.
While you can still upload images smaller than 800x600, this often comes with a reduction in image quality.
Click Yes on the confirmation dialog to proceed with the upload.
You will have to manually resize images that are smaller than 50x50, as the Media Manager will not scale dimensions that small.
