How to add videos

Last updated June 3, 2026


You add videos by asking the AI, the same way you add other media. You can upload smaller video files directly, or embed larger ones that are hosted somewhere else.

How to add a video

Adding a video works like any other edit. Upload it or paste a link in the chat, then tell Repaint where to put it:

  1. Open the chat on your site.
  2. Add your video. Click the plus in the chat input to upload a file, or paste a link to a video hosted elsewhere.
  3. Tell Repaint where you want it on the page.
  4. Wait for the update. Repaint adds the video, then the preview refreshes.
  5. Review the result, and ask for changes if anything's off.

Embed a YouTube video

Embed this YouTube video on our About page: youtube.com/watch?v=abc123

Large videos

There's a size limit on direct uploads, so for large video files you'll need to host them somewhere else, like YouTube, and embed them instead. Paste the link into the chat and Repaint embeds the video for you.

Embedding also keeps your site fast, since the video is served from the host rather than loaded from your own site.
