How do I add a video to a slideshow?

Updated this week

Slideshows support video slides, in addition to Displays and Images.

When a video is added, the slideshow will play the video in its entirety before seamlessly moving to the next slide.

To add a video slide, you'll first need to upload the video(s) to Vimeo, and then add the respective video slide to your Slideshow(s).

Upload video to Vimeo

A free account is required required to upload videos to Vimeo. Free accounts may have limits on the number of videos that can be stored/managed at a time.

Vimeo offers paid plans if additional storage is required.

  1. From Vimeo's Upload Video page, select or drag & drop your video.

  2. Once uploaded, go to the video page and take note of the video ID in the URL.

  3. Example Video ID: If the video page URL is vimeo.com/123456789?share=copy, the video ID would be 123456789.

Add video slide

  1. Navigate to the Slideshows tab on the Sippo website

  2. Create a new Slideshow

  3. Click + Add Slide

  4. Click Add Video

  5. Enter the Vimeo video ID from the previous step

Your Slideshow will now feature your video slide. Any active TVs running the Slideshow may automatically refresh once to load the Slideshow update.
