Post Featured Video

The Featured Video feature allows you to display a video prominently at the top of your posts, in the same location as featured images. This feature supports both Video cards and embedded YouTube/Vimeo content.

Format theme post featured video

To add a featured video to your post, you need to:

  1. Log in to Ghost admin
  2. Go to Posts, and open the post
  3. Add either a Video card or embed a YouTube/Vimeo video as the first element in your post
  4. Open the Post settings sidebar
  5. Add the #video internal tag to Tags
  6. Click Publish

Add post featured video to the Ghost post

  • Remember that internal tags starting with # are not visible to readers and are used only for theme features and integrations.
  • The video must be the first element in your post content for the feature to work properly. The script will automatically move it to the featured position while keeping the rest of your content intact.
  • Only the first video element will be used as the featured video. Any subsequent videos will remain in their original position within the post content.
