Pro Tip:

First, watch the video to learn how to use this type of theme. Then, replace the video by selecting it and clicking on the "Embed Options" tab on the right. Then, simply paste in the direct link to YouTube or Vimeo. Hide this element when you're finished.

If you would rather embed a video or stream from a different service, use the "Livestream - iFrame Block", which can be found hidden in the Layout Tab.
