#Add a video block

  1. Open Add and find Video in the Media group.
  2. Click it to add it at the end of the page, or drag it where you want it.
  3. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link.

#Upload your own video

Select a video block and open its settings. Under Your own video, press Upload a video and choose a video from your phone or computer, up to 3 minutes long. We make it play on every phone and computer.

You can also drop videos into Photos; they are listed under Videos.

#Play a video behind a block

The video plays silently on a loop behind the words, darkened so they stay readable. Visitors who turn motion off on their device see the dark background instead.

  1. Select the block and press the gear for Block settings.
  2. Under Background, choose Video.
  3. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and press Use it.
