How do I display a video for a hotspot?

- Choose from the Media dropdown on the Hotspot Content screen. This step changes the hotspot content type from Photo to Multimedia and
displays the Multimedia field. Note that changing the hotspot type to
Multimedia removes the photo, if any.

YouTube or your own server. You cannot upload a video or movie directly
to MapsAlive.
How do I embed a Google map in a hotspot's content?
First, you go to Google maps and search for the map location you are interested in, and then set the zoom level. You can get the HTML you need from the Google map site by clicking the "Link" link above the map on the right. Copy the HTML provided and paste the code into your hotspot's content. If your favorite map site provides similar HTML code you can embed other maps as well.
To embed the Google map, follow these steps:
