The Video Block

2 minutes

The Video Block allows you to put videos from different sources on your website.

How to add a video

After dragging The Video Block on the page, you can open its settings by clicking on the block. Insert the link to the video you want on your page into the text field. Alternatively, you can use the embed code of the video. Supported video platforms are YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion.

Video appearance

It is possible to stretch the video across the width of the website. You can also change the aspect ratio of the video.

Video in the lightbox

Basically, you can embed a video directly into the page from Youtube or Vimeo. Since video itself is quite a speed-intensive element, you can insert a button (or image) that links to the video instead of the video. You can then just adjust the settings to display it in the lightbox.

How to do it?

  • Insert a classic Button or Image into the page (for example, you can also choose an image as a variation of a link icon).

  • Set Link > External url to a YouTube, Vimeo or MP4 video (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/embed/jF10Bn9wJIM).

  • Check the "Open in lightbox" option in the block setup.

There you go!

Advanced settings

In the advanced settings, the ID can be very useful to you. It is used to create a link using an anchor. You can learn more about setting up and using anchors in this article.
