Adding Rich Content to Events

If you are just using text when creating your events, you are not utilizing the full potential of Squareberry events. Every event you create has a Content section which offers an open space for adding images, videos, links and more.

Adding Images

Images are the easiest thing to add into an event. Simply click the "Insert/Edit Image" button. The image pop-up will appear and show you other images/files you have uploaded to your account already. Select any of these to add them to the event content area. You can also click "Add File" to upload a new image.

Adding Videos

Squareberry allows you to embed videos from video hosting websites such as YouTube and Vimeo into your events. These video hosting websites offer great features and outstanding performance. Once your video is uploaded simply copy the embed code provided by your video site. For example, on YouTube you will find the embed code under the "Share" tab.

To embed the video in your event content, click the "HTML" button. This will display a pop-up with the HTML source of your event content. Paste the embed code into here.

Adding Links and Download Links

There are two types of links you can add, and two buttons to match. "Insert/Edit Link" allows you to add more traditional links. You can link to a website URL and choose from a few options. The second link button is "Add Link to a File". This allows you to link to a file you have uploaded to your account.

An example of using the Link to File button is to allow the download of a form. You can upload a PDF form that needs to be filled out and brought to the event. This file could be downloaded easily by anyone viewing your event.

To add a link, highlight the text you want to make a link. Once the text is highlighted, click one of the add link buttons. The appropriate pop-up will appear and you can turn that selected text into a hyperlink.
