How to use Glide’s video component for tutorials?

Step 1: Open the Glide App and Start a New Project

First things first, open up the Glide app on your web browser. Click on the option to create a new project. Glide will ask if you want to start from scratch or use a template. Pick whichever option fits your needs best.

Step 2: Add a New Screen

Head over to the "Screens" section of your project. Click on the "+ New Screen" button to add a new screen where you'll be integrating your video tutorial component.

Step 3: Select ‘Video’ Component

Now that you have your new screen, look at the right-hand panel where you can see a list of components. Find and select the 'Video' component from the list.

Step 4: Configure Video Source

After picking the video component, you'll need to set up the video source. Glide supports various video sources, like YouTube or a direct link to a video file. Pop the URL of your video tutorial into the provided field.

Step 5: Customize Video Settings

Tweak the video settings to match your preferences. You can adjust the video’s height, autoplay feature, and whether to show video controls. Adjust these settings based on what your tutorial needs.

Step 6: Arrange the Component

Drag and drop the video component to where you want it on the screen. Make sure it's easy to find and see for users.

Step 7: Add Descriptions and Instructions

Think about adding some description text or instructions around the video component to guide the user on what the tutorial will cover. Use Text or Rich Text components for this.

Step 8: Test Your Tutorial Screen

Switch to the preview mode to test your tutorial screen. Make sure the video loads properly and check that all custom settings work as expected.

Step 9: Publish and Share Your App

Once you’re happy with everything, publish your app. Share the app link with your audience so they can access your video tutorial.

Step 10: Monitor User Feedback

After publishing, keep an eye on user feedback to see how well the video tutorials are being received. Make adjustments as needed to improve the user experience.
