Video content with GB

  • Hello,

    Since Video Block does not exist, what’s the right way to handle content like video backgrounds and videos popups (from image thumbnails, like Lightbox)?

    Right now, for Video backgrounds, I’m using a native WordPress Cover Block, but I have no solution for Video “Lightboxes”. Is there a (better) solution for this? Are there any plans to have the Video Block?

  • Hi there,

    For video background, check out this doc. The doc was using v1 blocks, if you are using v2, the UI will be different, but v2 has all the options that v1 has, so you shold be able to do the same with v2.

    For video popups, you can create a GB overlay panel and add a video block in it.

  • But can a GB overlay panel load dynamic content based on what’s clicked? For example, can I create a single overlay that works for multiple videos in a loop?

    Nowadays, videos are everywhere, and I think BG needs a better solution.

  • For example, can I create a single overlay that works for multiple videos in a loop?

    No, I don’t think so, unfortunately!
