Add video content to your Experience Page to tell a compelling story that engages donors.

Adding videos to your Experience Page is an excellent way to communicate the story behind your cause, evoke emotion, and provide descriptions that images alone can’t capture. Videos also give your page a professional yet personal touch. Together, these qualities catch donors' attention and increase the likelihood that they will donate.

RallyUp provides four key places to add videos:

• Experience banner (top of the page)
• Experience description
• Organization description
• Experience item descriptions

Before You Begin

• We recommend being selective about where you choose to include videos. Too much video content might make your Experience Page look cluttered, which can overwhelm donors and discourage them from donating. 

Experience Banner

If you select a Simple style banner (image or video on one side with the title and progress bar on the other side), you can add a video to the very top of the Experience Page:

Please note that if you select the Advanced banner option, you won't be able to upload a banner video.

1. Select Experiences from the left menu.
2. If you have chosen list view, click on the Experience title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Experience image.
3. Select Experience Setup.
4. Go to Page Design in the timeline at the top.
5. Scroll down to Choose how the top section of your experience page will look and select the Simple option on the left.
6. Scroll down to Add images and videos to your Experience Page and select ADD VIDEO:

7. Enter a YouTube or Vimeo link and select Save.

Experience Description  

Each time you create a new Experience, you'll be prompted to enter a description that lets donors know who the proceeds will benefit and any other important information they need to know (e.g., entry rules, registration instructions, etc.):

If you include a video in this section, we suggest selecting one that is specific to the fundraiser you're running and clearly outlines your cause.

1. Select Experiences from the left menu.
2. If you have chosen list view, click on the Experience title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Experience image.
3. Select Experience Setup.
4. Go to Page Design in the timeline at the top.
5. Scroll down to Share a compelling experience description and click on the video icon in the toolbar:

6. Enter a YouTube or Vimeo link and select INSERT. If you have the embed code for your video, you can also copy and paste the code directly into the text box.
7. Select Save.

Organization Description

You can create a default description of your organization's mission, goals, and other basic information from your Profile settings:

When you create a new Experience, this description will automatically populate in your Experience settings, and you can leave it as is or make changes. The organization description will appear under the Meet the Organization section on your Experience Page:

If you want to add a video to this section, we suggest selecting a video that truly reflects your organization’s overall messaging and values so it will fit well with any current or future fundraising Experiences.

1. Select Settings from the left menu, then select Profile from the dropdown.
2. Scroll down to Description under Organization information, and click on the video icon in the toolbar:

3. Enter a YouTube or Vimeo link and select INSERT. If you have the embed code for your video, you can also copy and paste the code directly into the text box.
4. Select Save at the bottom of the page.

Experience Item Descriptions

RallyUp allows you to add videos to the description sections for Experience items like Raffle prizes, Auction items, A-Thon registration options, and more. Donors can see the video when they expand the Experience item description:

1. Select Experiences from the left menu.
2. If you have chosen list view, click on the Experience title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Experience image.
3. Select Experience Setup.
4. Navigate to the Experience item in question (e.g., if you want to add a video to a Raffle prize, go to Raffle in the timeline at the top and scroll down until you find the prize).
5. Click on the item in question to edit it (or create a new item), then click on the video icon in the toolbar: 

6. Enter a YouTube or Vimeo link and select INSERT. If you have the embed code for your video, you can also copy and paste the code directly into the text box.
7. Select Save.
