Video

If you open the video on YouTube, you can find the chapters of the different settings in the description.

YouTube or Vimeo

When it comes to videos on websites, you almost always want to use some kind of service, usually YouTube or Vimeo. I would recommend Vimeo, because it is one of the main features of this service, and they are happy that you use it this way. On the other hand, YouTube is very unhappy about putting videos outside their domain and will always make it more difficult and less capable.

Adding a video player

Premium Minimalio adds custom Gutenberg blocks for you, those are Vimeo and Youtube iframes. You can use those to add video players to your website. Always add an ID of your video and choose an aspect-ratio of your video. Vimeo iframe block also adds an option of covering your player with an image and a big play button.

Adding a video banner

A video banner is a section of the website, where video plays automatically, with play/pause and mute buttons. This is especially cool for setting it as a homepage, which is fully covered by your video. Both available with Vimeo and YouTube, but Vimeo again is better. The Gutenberg blocks are called Vimeo banner and YouTube banner. If you want to use the banner to cover your whole homepage, go to Minimalio options -> Header and enable transparent header on your homepage.

Embedding a video

In case that you don’t want to use the custom Minimalio Gutenberg blocks, you can also embed your videos. Find the sharing options in Vimeo or YouTube, and get the Embed HTML code for your video. Then use the Gutenberg block called Custom HTML. Paste your embed code in there.
