Manual Video Block
What it does: Embeds one or more manually specified videos — each as a Manual Video Item sub-component. Each item has a video embed (via a media_videoembed media entity), a title, a required thumbnail image, and an optional summary. This is for specific, curated videos — not a dynamic feed.
How to Add
- Edit the page node.
- Click Add Component → Manual Video Block.
Top-Level Fields
| Field Label | What to Enter | Required? |

Manual Video Item Fields (per video)
| Field Label | What to Enter | Required? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Video Embed | Reference a media_videoembed entity from the media library | Yes | The video must already exist as a media embed entity. Add it to the media library first if it doesn't exist. |
| Video Title | Title displayed with the video | No | — |
| Video Thumbnail | Upload or select a thumbnail image; alt text required | Yes | Shown before the video plays |

How to Update
- Edit the page, open the Manual Video Block component.
- To swap a video: click into the Video Item and change the Video Embed reference.
- Update the thumbnail and title to match the new video.
- Save.
⚠️ The Video Embed field references a media_videoembed entity — not a raw YouTube or Vimeo URL. If the video hasn't been added to the CMS media library yet, create the media entity there first, then reference it here.
