Size the widget container as you like. For a full width video player, stretch the widget to full browser width using the Resize dropdown in Muse Design mode.
Open the widget option panel.
Select a Video Source. YouTube, Vimeo, local and external videos are supported.
Local Video Setup: This mode is for videos that are stored on your computer locally. Load .mp4 and .webm versions of your video, along with a poster image.
External Video Setup: This mode streams video from video hosted on the web. Simply paste the web address of an .mp4 or .webm file, along with a page poster image link. Like our other video and audio widgets, it's important to make sure that the URL's you use end in the file name (.mp4, .webm, etc.), otherwise they will not be recognized.
YouTube and Vimeo Video Setup: For both YouTube and Vimeo videos, simply paste the URL of the video. No need to copy a key or ID.
