Add a video to your site
Show a YouTube or Vimeo video, upload your own short video, or play a video quietly behind a block.
#Add a video block
- Open Add and find Video in the Media group.
- Click it to add it at the end of the page, or drag it where you want it.
- 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.
- Select the block and press the gear for Block settings.
- Under Background, choose Video.
- Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and press Use it.
