Set it up

  1. Choose the Video source: Uploaded video (from Content › Files) or YouTube or Vimeo.
  2. Pick the Video, or paste the Video URL.
  3. Upload a Cover image: it shows until the video is played, and keeps the page fast because the video only loads on demand.
  4. Add a Heading and Text above the video if you want to introduce it.

Options

  • Play automatically without sound: uploaded videos can start muted as soon as they are on screen, like a moving photo. Leave it off for videos with speech.
  • Aspect ratio: 16:9, 4:3 or Square.
  • Full width: runs the video edge to edge.

All settings

Every setting in the order of the theme editor, with its options and its default value.
