    And if you ever want to show a PDF instead of a Video Link then use this format:
'url'   => 'https://example.com/path/to/pdf',

    The provided code snippet registers a new section in the WordPress admin menu called "Training Videos" and displays a list of training videos in that section. The implementation of this functionality is achieved through the use of two functions:

add_training_section_to_admin_menu()
This function registers a new menu item in the WordPress admin menu. It accepts the following arguments:

$page_title (string): The text that appears in the title tag of the web page when the menu item is selected.
$menu_title (string): The text that appears in the WordPress admin menu for this item.
$capability (string): The capability required for a user to view this menu item.
$menu_slug (string): The unique identifier for this menu item.
$function (callable): The function that will be called when this menu item is selected.
$icon_url (string): The URL for the icon that will be displayed next to this menu item.
$position (int): The position of this menu item in the WordPress admin menu.
In this code snippet, add_menu_page() is called with the appropriate arguments to create the "Training Videos" menu item.

display_training_videos_page()
This function is called when the "Training Videos" menu item is selected. It displays a list of training videos using the $videos array. The $videos array contains an array of associative arrays, each of which contains a title and a URL for a training video.

The function creates an unordered list of video titles and links, using a foreach loop to iterate over the $videos array.

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'add_training_section_to_admin_menu' );
This line of code adds the add_training_section_to_admin_menu() function to the admin_menu action hook, which is called when the WordPress admin menu is initialized. This ensures that the "Training Videos" menu item is registered and displayed in the WordPress admin menu.

    Great snippet, thank you.  Tip for users: the menu displays for the administrator role. To get it to display for the editor role change line 5 from ‘manage_options’ to ‘publish_pages’
