With the video web part for SharePoint Online, you can highlight video content on a SharePoint page for a single video or list of videos.
Note
The permissions on the video are respected in SharePoint. If your organization is using Trusted Sites, make sure to add https://m365.cloud.microsoft/launch/clipchamp to the trusted URLs.

Highlighting a single video on a SharePoint page
Go to your videos in OneDrive or SharePoint and find the clip you want to highlight
Open the video on its player page
Copy the URL / link to the video from the browser's address bar or use the Share option on the page to obtain a shareable link
Go to your SharePoint Online site and open the page or news article you want to add the video to
Edit the page
Add the video web part on your page
Change the Source drop down to Single video
In the Video address field, paste in the URL / link to the video
Optional: You can configure the video to start at a specific time code by typing a time into the Start at field. For example, if you want it to start playing part way into the video, you can type "1:32" into the field and it will start 1 minute and 32 seconds into the video when the user clicks play.
Optional: If you anticipate changing your video's thumbnail after you post, note the following:
- When you add a video to a SharePoint page, the video thumbnail is cached for faster loading for subsequent viewers.
- If you change the video thumbnail on the video's player page, you'll need to delete and re-add the video in SharePoint to ensure the updated thumbnail gets stored—it won't update automatically.
Highlighting a list of videos on a SharePoint page
This option allows you to highlight a list of videos on your page. You can make use of the Highlighted content web part to achieve this goal. For step-by-step instructions, see the section about displaying a list of videos in: Using videos on SharePoint pages.
