Video

Would these same steps be used say if I wanted to present a video instead of a photo? If a user wanted to view a video but instead of going to Youtube.com instead I wanted them to see it on the page with background overlay for example.

If you want to add a video you can do it easier by using the iframe code from YouTube and changing the width and height according to your preference. You can find that by getting the code from Share -> Embed.

In general yes. Getting video to display is a little more tricky than an image due to having to work with various encodings.
