Use the jhdocs-embedded-video shortcode to embed a video in your markdown.

This shortcode takes the following parameters:

  • videourl: URL of the video file itself
  • posterimageurl: URL of a static poster image that displays as a placeholder before the user interacts with the video

Below is an example of an embedded video. The first thing you see is the poster image. The video itself plays when you click it.
