ChurchTrac: How to Embed Youtube Videos in a Church Connect Page Card
ChurchTrac is a complete Church Management System (ChMS).
As a paying customer, you have access to Church Connect, which is a member portal that can be accessed through a browser on any device, or installed as an app on any smartphone or tablet.
If you’re looking for an easy way to show sermon video (or any other type of video) on your Church Connect page, you might be tempted to use a Link Card.
I’ve opted to embed my videos in a Page Card instead. This keeps users on our Church Connect page or app, instead of jumping to Youtube’s website or app. This streamlines the experience for the user, and allows them to navigate more seamlessly back through the rest of the Church Connect page or app.
