# Create video content

Using the Content Library, you can create video content to appear on the employee portal.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_cd.content\_manager

To add features to your video link like heading text, body text, text color, background color, and background image, use Portal Styled content from the **Content Library**. For more information, see [Create customized media with styled content](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/ec-content-library-portal-styled.md).

-   HTML5

    **Note:** Hover text or tooltips are not supported for HTML5 at this time.
