What’s New in Video Enhancements

Improved Video Player UI

The video element now uses a cleaner, more intuitive player design that improves usability across desktop and mobile devices.

Loop Playback

You can enable loop playback so hosted videos automatically replay after finishing.

This is useful for:

  • Background or hero section videos

  • Short promotional clips

  • Continuous visual demonstrations

Color Customization

Video controls can be styled to better match your brand.

Available options include:

  • Transparent or custom background

  • Custom accent color for controls

Mute by Default (Autoplay Compatibility)

When autoplay is enabled, videos start muted by default to comply with browser restrictions.

Visitors can manually unmute the video using the on-player controls.

How Video Enhancements Work

Adding a Video to a Page

  1. Open the Page Builder.

  2. Add a Video element to your page.

  3. Select the video element to open its settings panel.

Configuring Playback Settings

Playback behavior is managed from the General settings of the video element.

You can configure:

  • Autoplay (muted by default)

  • Loop playback

  • Play / Pause controls

  • Playback speed control

  • Remaining time display

  • Full-screen toggle

  • Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode on scroll

Saving and Previewing

After configuring settings:

  1. Save the page.

  2. Preview the page to confirm video behavior and styling.

Changes apply consistently across published views.

Why Video Enhancements Matter

Improved Engagement

Playback controls and looping options encourage visitors to spend more time engaging with video content.

Brand Consistency

Custom accent colors and styling help ensure videos align visually with the rest of your page design.

Accessibility and Compliance

Muted autoplay and visible playback controls improve accessibility while aligning with modern browser requirements.
