Videos bring your client's brand story to life, capturing attention and creating a meaningful connection with site visitors. The Studio Editor allows you to seamlessly showcase videos, embed content from social platforms, and enhance your design with unique video elements. 

Choose from single video players or customizable VideoBoxes, and refine every detail, from playback settings to creative design touches, to create an engaging visual experience.

Adding a video

Select the video element that best fits your design and goals. Use a single video player for straightforward playback, or opt for a VideoBox for more advanced customization. You can also enhance the site’s design with transparent background videos, crafted by Wix, for a unique decorative touch.
