Follow these short instructions to accomplish your goal: 1. Go to **Content** -\> **Newsrooms** and choose the Media Library option from the left navigation menu 2. Click the **Upload **button and add a video in the newly opened window (.mp4 recommended) 3. Click on the uploaded video 4. Select the preview button in next to its name: ![newsroom media library open file](https://help.prowly.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Help/Newsroom/newsroom%20media%20library%20open%20file.png?width=655&name=newsroom%20media%20library%20open%20file.png) 5. Copy the link of this player to your clipboard **Important note:** Do not change any details of the file inside the Media Library after you do this, as it simultaneously alters the URL of the player. 6\. Once you're done, go to [iframely](https://iframely.com/embed) 7\. Paste the link and click **CHECK IT** 8\. If the player with your file can be embedded, it will generate an HTML code for you 9\. Click the **COPY CODE **button 10\. Navigate back to Prowly and Press Release Creator with your press release opened 11\. Add the **Custom Code** element and paste HTML code next to the green arrow **Here’s one more trick:** you need to delete \ from the very beginning of the code and one of the \ that you can see near the end of it. Once you’re ready, click **Save** and if you’ve followed the steps correctly, you should be able to see the preview of the player inside the Story Creator. It should work just fine also on the preview of the press release itself.  - [Write press releases](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to creating press releases with Prowly](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#guide-to-creating-press-releases-with-prowly) - [Writing and enriching press releases](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#writing-and-enriching-press-releases) - [Changing press release settings](https://help.prowly.com/write-press-releases?hsLang=en#changing-press-release-settings) - [Optimize newsroom](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Newsroom configuration](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#newsroom-configuration) - [Adding and managing newsroom content](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#adding-and-managing-newsroom-content) - [Storing files and visuals](https://help.prowly.com/optimize-newsroom?hsLang=en#storing-files-and-visuals) - [Manage contacts](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Using PR CRM](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#using-pr-crm) - [Managing contacts](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#managing-contacts) - [Protecting personal data](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#protecting-personal-data) - [Tags](https://help.prowly.com/manage-contacts?hsLang=en#tags) - [Send email pitches](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to sending email pitches](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#guide-to-sending-email-pitches) - [Verifying email addresses](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#verifying-email-addresses) - [Creating new email](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#creating-new-email) - [Optimizing recipient lists](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#optimizing-recipient-lists) - [Writing email content](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#writing-email-content) - [Sending emails](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#sending-emails) - [Email academy](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#email-academy) - [Domain authentication](https://help.prowly.com/send-email-pitches?hsLang=en#domain-authentication) - [Find new media contacts](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to finding new media contacts with Prowly](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#guide-to-finding-new-media-contacts-with-prowly) - [Using Media Database](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#using-media-database) - [Contact and export limits](https://help.prowly.com/find-new-media-contacts?hsLang=en#contact-and-export-limits) - [Media Monitoring](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Guide to Media Monitoring](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#guide-to-media-monitoring) - [Browsing and filtering articles](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#browsing-and-filtering-articles) - [Dashboards and widgets](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#dashboards-and-widgets) - [Email notifications](https://help.prowly.com/media-monitoring?hsLang=en#email-notifications) - [Analyze PR performance](https://help.prowly.com/analyze-pr-performance?hsLang=en) - [Manage your account](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Security and legal](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#security-and-legal) - [Connected inbox](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#connected-inbox) - [Subscription and payments](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#subscription-and-payments) - [Teamwork](https://help.prowly.com/manage-your-account?hsLang=en#teamwork) - [PR Reports](https://help.prowly.com/pr-reports?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.prowly.com/hubfs/prowly-logo-3.svg "Chill listening crop-3")](https://help.prowly.com/?hsLang=en) Help Center Copyright © 2026, Prowly | part of Semrush Inc.
