9.  Expand **Block settings** to edit the framed workspace around your clip with a **Video** label on the left. You can only see the frame after clicking on the object. It won’t be visible on your landing page. You can customize its color, padding, border, radius, and shadow.
10.  **Absolute positioning** – Enable this option to place the social icons in any place on your landing page. We only recommend using this option if you have some unusual design that can’t be created in any other way. Using objects with absolute positioning can make your page less responsive on mobile devices. [You can find more information about this feature here](https://www.getresponse.com/help/how-to-use-the-absolute-positioning-feature.html).
11.  **Hide on mobile devices** – Enable this option to hide your social media icons when your page is opened on a mobile device.

Steps for legacy landing pages

**Adding social sharing icons**

**Social sharing** icons allow your [audience](https://www.getresponse.com/help/audience.html) to share the content of your [landing page](https://www.getresponse.com/help/landing-page.html) on respective [social media](https://www.getresponse.com/help/social-media.html) services. To add social sharing icons to your page, follow the steps below:

1.  In the **landing page creator**, hover over **Social media** (it looks like the X icon) to see the available icons.
2.  Select the section of the landing page you’d like to add the icon to.
3.  Double-click the icon to add it to the section. You can then reposition it to best fit your design idea.

Social sharing icons can’t be hyperlinked to external pages. Their purpose is to share the content of your page on particular social media services.

**How can I link my social media page to my landing pages?**

If you want to allow your audience to visit your social media pages, you can add **a [link](https://www.getresponse.com/help/link.html) to social media page**. To create hyperlinks for your social media pages, follow the steps below:

1.  In the landing page creator, select a template and locate the social media icons **within the body of your landing page**.  
    **Note**: Social media icons are images that are already added to your page and can be hyperlinked. These icons are different from social sharing icons described above.
2.  Double-click them to open the editing options and click on the **Insert/edit link**
3.  Edit the details, enter the account URL and click **OK**.

When your page visitor click on the image, they’ll be able to navigate to your social media page.
