Video best practice

My site is going to contain tons of videos. Instead of embedding them onto the table of contents page (subscription main page), I'm planning on creating text links to the videos because there are too many. What do you recommend is a best practice for this. Linking each video link to it's own subpage like a blog post or can I do a lightbox for the video?

What is some of your other members doing?

Thanks for your help!

    Lon,

    I would suggest having the member click on a link that will take them to a page where they can view an embedded video. To do this, just add a new Custom Page within CustomerHub and select "Hidden" for Visibility. You can add an embedded video to this page and use the permalink as a link on the page where the list of videos are. You could even use membership based page partials to insert side navigation for each of the video pages.

    Let me know if you have any further questions on this.
