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.

To add a new video:

  1. Click Add Elements on the left side of the editor.
  2. Click Media.
  3. Select a video type under Video:
    • Single Video Players: Upload your own video or embed one from a social network. 
    • VideoBox: Showcase your own videos, free Wix videos, or professional Shutterstock videos in beautifully designed video containers. 
    • Transparent Video: Add or upload your own videos with transparent backgrounds.
