After developing a WordPress website a client might want to manage the site themselves. This plugin gives the developer the option of providing “how to” videos to teach the client how to use a certain aspect of the WordPress install. When an install has become complicated it can be a great time saver to provide the customer with an instructional video that covers the topic.
This plugin does not create videos. It provides a place to show videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and to upload your own video (size matters). When creating a site you can link to existing YouTube how to videos that are relevant to your WordPress install. Videos that are relevent to the particular client you have created the Website for.
The videos can be displayed by category and users who can view the video can also be controlled by their role. Choose who you want to be able to view the videos by adjusting the admin help video settings. The title of the L7 Admin Help Videos page can also be set to customize the clients experience.
Users can:
<ul>
<li>Upload a help video.</li>
<li>Title videos.</li>
<li>Provide descriptions of the videos.</li>
<li>Link to external videos.
 </li>
<li>Watch videos in the backend.</li>
<li>Restrict the viewing of the videos.</li>
</ul>

This plugin will allow creation of admin help tabs (and associated sidebars) on any screen in the WordPress admin area. It creates a custom post type called Help Tabs to store information. You need to add the following info to make it work:
<ol>
<li>Title – The title of your tab</li>
<li>Main content area </li>
<li>Screen – What page/screen it should appear on</li>
<li>Type – Help tab or tab sidebar</li>
</ol>
HELP TAB EXAMPLE: 
Let’s say I want to add a help tab on the main Help Tabs listing page that says something about my plugin. I would use:
<ol>
<li>“My Main Tab”</li>
<li>“This is a main tab with my own info on it!”</li>
<li>“edit-sbah_helptab”</li>
<li>Select “Tab” (the default)</li>
</ol>
HELP SIDEBAR EXAMPLE: 
Let’s say I want to add a help sidebar (these are the areas to the right with extra info and links) on the main Help Tabs listing page. I would use:
<ol>
<li>“My Sidebar”</li>
<li>“This is a sidebar!”</li>
<li>“edit-sbah_helptab”</li>
<li>Select “Sidebar”</li>
</ol>
IMPORTANT NOTE: While there can be multiple tabs per page, there can be only ONE sidebar per page. If you add others to the same page, only the first one found will show.
NOTE: I also have a plugin that does Admin Pointers (those blue info boxes), if you are interested in that one you can find it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-admin-pointers/
This plugin leverages the great work done by others here:
