You’ve asked – and we’ve delivered.
Now your contests inside of ContestDomination™ support videos from YouTube, Vimeo and Wistia. So if you host your video at any one of those top 3 video providers, you can now put your masterpiece on your landing page.
Here’s a quick guide on how to use them with ContestDomination™, as well as a list of new customization options.
The Basics
Editing your video is easy once you know where to go. Just head on over to your contest editor, click the media settings and then find the video tab.
Then, pick your service of choice. When you click the URL area for the video, we’ll pop-up an embed code area for you to copy/paste your embed code.
After you click save, the embed code will be stripped down to exactly what we need, like the photo below.
YouTube
Here are your current YouTube options, we suggest using a video that’s “Unlisted” if you only want it to be used for this contest.

Vimeo
Vimeo is a popular destination for videographers for their affordable, professional hosting options.While they have a great free plan, some options (such as HD embedded playback) require a Vimeo Pro account. Pro is well worth the investment if you’re looking to host a fair amount of content for contests, membership sites etc.
