Adding videos to legal documents
Available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

Create a new document or select an existing document to edit
Find the field called Video and add the URL of the video you want to show visitors
Important Notes:
For YouTube videos, make sure the video is “Public” or “Unlisted,” and that you’ve checked “Allow embedding.”
For Vimeo videos, “Who can watch?” must be set to “Anyone” or “People with the private link” “Where can this be embedded?” must be set to “Anywhere.”
