Add the YouTube or Vimeo URL to the Link field.
Include a heading
Add a Heading using the provided field. Leave the field blank to exclude a heading.
Include a caption
Add a Caption for your video by activating Show caption and adding text to the Caption field.
Activate autoplay
Enable Autoplay video to have the video start automatically. Some browsers and devices restrict autoplay function, so there are limitations to this setting beyond the theme's control.
Adjust the video wrapper
Set the video's Aspect ratio between 16:9 and 21:9. This will control the width in proportion to the height, so 16:9 would be the more narrow option and 21:9 would provide a wider display.
Add a cover image
Click Select image to add the Cover image, then set the Cover image position. This comes in handy when you'd prefer a placeholder to show before the video is selected.
The Autoplay feature will not work with the Cover image as a placeholder
Activate overlay
Add an Overlay by activating Show overlay.
Select the Overlay color and adjust the Opacity (1-100% transparent-opaque).
