# Embed a Wistia video using URL

Whatfix enables embedding Wistia videos to any Pop-up template to deliver more information to users. Embed the video in the description section of the Pop-up. For more information on Whatfix Pop-up templates, see [Choose the Pop-up template](/studio/docs/choosing-the-Pop-up-template).

Adding a video URL in a Pop-up is a two-step process: [**Step 1**: Get the video URL](/studio/docs/embedding-a-wistia-video-using-embed-code#step-1-get-the-video-url) [**Step 2**: Insert the video URL in the Pop-up using the Visual Editor](/studio/docs/embedding-a-wistia-video-using-embed-code#step-2-insert-the-video-url-in-the-popup)
