  2. Navigate to the page where you want to add the video.
  3. Select the element or container where you want to place the video.
  4. Click on the “Add Elements” button in the top menu bar.
  5. Choose “Video” from the elements panel that appears on the left side of the screen.
  6. Select either “Upload” or “Embed” depending on whether you want to upload a file from your computer or embed a video hosted elsewhere.
    • If you choose “Upload,” simply click on “Choose File” and select your video file from your computer’s storage. Once selected, click on “Upload.”
    • If you choose “Embed,” paste the embed code provided by your preferred video hosting platform (such as YouTube or Vimeo) into the designated field.

  • Borders: Apply borders using the “border” property to give your video a distinct look.
