Video not displaying?

Hi
Here https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/featured-video-page-display-faqs/GRSQVMWRRDZNYYNV?ref_=helpsect_contrib_6_3# it says that once a video is added it will automatically appear at the top of a page.

I've added several and cannot see any of them. examples: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15146074/  and https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0659016/ 

Have I done something wrong, please?

Hi @ChiefTuftyClubMember -

I can see that you added Video links to the episode title pages, these links are listed under the "External Sites" section, for example see Episode #2.3 and Episode #14.4.  Note that video links are separate from uploaded videos, only uploaded videos will display within the title's video gallery and will show as a featured video.

For information on how to add video content to IMDb (to the video gallery) you can find detailed information on our Help Guide.

I hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions!

I was getting tired by the time I posted the above and forgot to add in - if they ARE just links, do they show anywhere? I don't own the videos so cannot upload them. But also couldn't see where the links were going.

One thing I struggle with is figuring out, when viewing a show, what field name should be updated to populate it. Not feeling very logical to me yet - although I tend to only need telling once!

I may have missed it in the Help but is there a guide that lists what fields update what? 

Thx for responding.

Hello ChiefTuftyClubMember,

When adding links they will show in the "External Links" section, for example see Episode #2.3 and Episode #14.4, you can see and click under "Official Sites" and "Videoclips and Trailers" the links that were added. 

For your second question, we are unable to determine what is it that you are trying to submit? Can you help us clarify? Do you have an example from what you need? so we can take a look and help you.

Hi
I don't see what you are seeing. The headings, down every page, are Photos / Top Cast / Storyline / User Reviews / Top Picks / Details / Technical Specs and then Contribute to this Page.

Nothing at all that mentions "external".

My 2nd question was where on earth where the links vanishing to as I'd clicked up and down on everything and can't see them.

Are my settings set to hide something?
Thx

@ChiefTuftyClubMember​ You need to go to 'All topics' at the top right.

Cheers!
