Why use a single media content component
The single media content component can include an image or a video alongside a text block. The component is slightly inset and has a grey background, helping it to stand out on the page.
This component must include an image or video, a heading and a short description.
If you want the video to appear full width for more visual impact, consider using the single media section component instead.
