The Script Editor web part is used to add code snippets to your site.
These code snippets are usually
- YouTube or Vimeo videos
- Podcasts
- Charts or dashboards
Sometimes we will also use a Script Editor to add a bit of CSS or JavaScript code to your page if it has some advanced features.
The most frequent use of a Script Editor would be embedding a video onto your page. Please be sure to consult the
Videos and Audio page for details on making the video embed responsive so it will shrink to fit nicely on a mobile screen.
