Adding a Video to the Top of the Forum Home Page?

[Simonsayyzz (Simon)]

Hi, I’m a moderator on another Discourse site, and we were wondering if it was possible to add a video to the top of the home page of our forum. The idea behind this would be that the video would discuss rules and protocol, and be available to all new users on the forum (as well as anyone else).

Thanks!

A banner topic is probably the easiest way, more detail here:

Publish/pin video in the community

If you upload a video directly to a topic you can make it appear as a banner topic, which will make it visible at the top of every page (and will include the video). Individual users will be able to dismiss the banner. [Screen Shot 2021-01-07 at 2.45.56 PM] That’s the quickest/easiest way to get it to appear for all users… if you only want the video to show on the homepage I believe you’ll need to build a custom theme component.
