How to (Injects)
Create an inject and add the media
Within the inject, click on "Please add video or image" to import it through your media library. Alternatively, drag and drop the media you want.

Settings to note:
Time: Select the amount of time that you want the image/video to stay on the screen. If you are attaching a video change the time at the bottom to the same time as the video. If you have a long video, you might choose to use a shorter duration so players aren't interrupted for the whole video.
For video pop-ups:
News ticker Text: This is text that scrolls across the bottom of a video, like a news ticker. You can use the toggle button to select the direction in which the banner moves (used for different languages that may read right to left instead of left to right)
Overlaid Image: Overlay an image on the video and set the start time and duration that you want the image on the screen.
Using the news ticker and overlaying an image on a video allows you to get greater use of "generic" video content by making it appear bespoke to an exercise. For example a video about a flood can now appear to be about a flood in this area or affecting these people.

⭐Best practices
Use media pop-ups sparingly to create spectacle
Remember your exercises should be participatory and that media pop-ups interrupts the player's current activity. Use it when you need to grab attention!
