2. Project-level video (if configured) ➜ Falls back to this
3. Default system video ➜ Final fallback
Use Cases

Configure the video at project level only. All suppliers see the same instructional video.
Scenario 2: Different Videos per Supplier

Troubleshooting
Video doesn't appear:
- Check that you're using an /embed/ URL for YouTube
- Verify the video is publicly accessible (not private)
Video appears on some portals but not others:
- Portal-level configuration overrides project-level
- Check if the specific portal has its own Video URL configured
Need to remove a custom video:
- Simply delete the Video URL
- The system will fall back to the next level (project default or system default)
