Webflow is a powerful web design tool that allows you to create stunning websites with ease. One of the many features it offers is the ability to embed videos into your site. Let’s dive in and learn how to view a video on Webflow!

Step 1: Prepare your video

Before you can view a video on Webflow, you need to have the video file ready. Make sure the video is in a compatible format, such as MP4 or WebM. Additionally, consider optimizing the video for web playback by compressing it and keeping its file size reasonable.

Step 2: Upload your video

Once you have prepared your video, it’s time to upload it to Webflow. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account.
  2. Select the project where you want to add the video.
  3. Navigate to the page where you want to insert the video.
  4. Click on an element or create a new one where you want the video to appear.
  5. Select “Video” from the element options panel.
  6. Upload your video file by clicking on “Choose Video” and selecting it from your computer.

Step 3: Customize your video settings

Your uploaded video will now appear on your page, but there are additional settings you can customize:

  • Autoplay: Choose whether the video should play automatically when the page loads.
  • Mute: Decide if the video should be muted by default.
  • Loop: Determine if the video should restart automatically after it finishes playing.
  • Controls: Toggle whether the video controls are visible or not.

Take some time to play around with these settings and see what works best for your website’s needs.

Step 4: Publish and view your video

Once you are satisfied with how your video looks and behaves, it’s time to publish your changes. Follow these steps:

  1. Click on the “Publish” button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer.
  2. Select a publishing option that suits you best (e.g., “Publish to Webflow.io” or “Export Code”).
  3. Publish your project and wait for it to finish uploading.
  4. Navigate to your published site using the provided URL or by exporting and opening it locally in a web browser.
  5. Browse to the page where you added the video, and voila! You can now view your video on Webflow!
