The video component in the Sinorbis CMS editor allows you to add video content in two different ways:
- Host the video directly in the Sinorbis file manager
- Host the video on Youku, Tencent, Vimeo or YouTube
The benefit of hosting your video content on Sinorbis is that you have full control over your brand and your videos will not be interrupted by ads as is the case when you're hosting on Youku. Embedding video content from Vimeo and YouTube may impact your website performance in China.

2.1 Best Practice
Occasionally, you might encounter video display problems on mobile devices. If that problem occurs, review this suggested best practice:
3 Modifying Other Settings
Alignment
Adjust the horizontal position of the video inside the component: align to the left, centre, or right.
Height
Click the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons to change the height of the video player, not the video itself. If the height is set too low, the top or bottom of the video will not be visible.
Width
The Width feature changes the distance between the left and right edges of the video display area. It also maintains the video’s original aspect ratio, so there is no visual distortion.
Set the width by changing the number of pixels or as a percentage of the video component's width.
