Every radio station has a creative person, that person who always comes to the table with ideas on how to make their website better, and is continuously thinking beyond.
At SoCast, we’re inspired by these people everyday, and it’s why we’re very excited to release the much requested feature of being able to add video to heroes in SoCast Theme 3.0.
Starting today anyone using Theme 3.0 will have the ability to add video to their hero sections. The hero section can really set your site apart. Making it visual goes a long way to making it visible.
Here’s how to make a visual impact on your website:
Once in the Heroes section, click either ‘create new’ or edit an existing hero.
Once in the hero, scroll down to the ‘Background’ section
You should see 2 new options: Video File and Video Embed URL


Video File: Allows you to upload an MP4 format video. If the video is incompatible with a device, the background images will be used. The video will be muted due to browser restrictions.
Video Embed URL: Embed a video from Vimeo or Youtube. The video must be publicly viewable. If the video is incompatible with a device, the background images will be used. The video will be muted due to browser restrictions.
As a reminder stock images or stock videos requiring attribution, should never be used in the hero section.
If you are looking to upgrade to SoCast Theme 3.0 or have any questions, please reach out to support@socastdigital.com
Thanks!
