Accessible video embed

You can insert videos in any content area with a WYSIWYG editor. Use the embed code for YouTube, Vimeo or other online player and stick it inside this code:

<div class="flex-video widescreen vimeo">
    <!-- Insert video embed code here -->
</div>

The following code is used to give your video a title. This allows for this element on the page to become accessible. Right after the text that says <iframe paste the following code:

title="VIDEO TITLE"

Replace the uppercase text with a descriptive title of the video. A complete video embed code will look like this:


	    <div class="flex-video widescreen vimeo">
     <iframe

         width="560"
