Video Reveal Block
The Video Reveal block allows you to choose the image that displays for your video and any text you may want to have on top of that image. When the user clicks the play icon on the block, the video will appear and begin playing.

Add Text
In the Text tab, enter the text that will appear on top of the image.
Note: While you still have many formatting options, these should be used to a minimum. Links and headings styles should not be used. Keep the text short.

Once you've saved the Video Reveal block, you can place it on your site. Video reveal blocks are best placed in large regions, such as Intro Wide, Slider, Post Wide or the main content region.
