Add pictures and video to an accordion
An accordion section can carry a picture and a description that a visitor reads BEFORE they click, and a video that plays once they open it.
Open the block in the Builder and pick a section. You will see two groups:
**Before it opens**
• **Thumbnail** - a picture shown in the row, beside the header.
• **Image description** - only needed if the picture says something the header does not. Leave it blank and screen readers skip the image instead of reading a filename.
• **Description** - a short rich-text pitch. This is what earns the click, so keep the detail for the body.
**After it opens**
• **Video** - YouTube, Vimeo, or **Cinema** for a video you host yourself. Paste the normal link; a watch URL, a short link, or a bare ID all work.
• **Video still** - the frame shown before playback. Defaults to the thumbnail.
• **Body** - the full rich text, shown under the video.
**The video does not load until someone presses play.** That is deliberate. If ten sections each built a player when the page opened, every visitor would connect to YouTube ten times over - and be tracked by it - for videos they never watched. Your page stays fast and your visitors are not handed to a third party for a section they did not open.
Because of that, the still image is the one you choose. Pulling YouTube's own thumbnail would be the same connection, just harder to notice.
**Every section is still readable by search engines**, including the ones that start collapsed. Being shut is an interaction, not a reason to hide the content.
