id: (required) the content id of the video or playlist you wish to embed
image: full URL to a preview image for the content
type: embed type (video / playlist)

\nHow do I upload a video?\n\n

First, ensure the “Enable Video Upload” checkbox is selected in the Voltax Video plugin Settings
Click on the “Add Voltax Video” button
On the right side of the page, click on the upload button.
In order to properly upload and save the video, you will need to give the video a title and fill in the creator name.
Once the status changes to “ready” in Voltax, the video is available (processing might take up to 10 minutes, depending on the video size).
