In this article we’ll mention the steps you can take to add videos to your listings that are published on your Direct Booking Website.
Step 1: Upload a Video on YouTube
Before you can add a video to your Direct Booking listing, you’ll need to upload it to YouTube. If you don’t have a YouTube account, you can create one for free. Once your video is uploaded, you’re ready to proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Open the Accounts & Listings Tab
Log in to your iGMS account and navigate to the Accounts & Listings tab.
Step 3: Click on a Listing
In the Accounts & Listings section, locate the specific listing you want to add a video to. Click on the listing.
Step 4: Choose Direct Bookings
On the right side of your screen, you will see a list of channels. From this list, select Direct Bookings to access the Direct Booking Listing Editor.
Step 5: Find the Video Link
In the Direct Booking Listing Editor, look for the field designated for adding a video link. It’s important to note that this field only accepts links from the “src” element of the embed code from YouTube.
To find the correct link:
Open your video on YouTube.
Click on the Share button below the video.
Select Embed from the sharing options.
Copy the link that appears in the quotes after the “src=” element in the embed code.
Step 6: Paste the Link into the Field
Once you have copied the correct video link from YouTube, paste it into the designated field in the Direct Booking Listing Editor.
That's it!
After you’ve pasted the link, make sure to save your changes. Your video will now be associated with your Direct Booking listing, providing potential guests with a visual introduction to your property.
