What is the current code for the video popup in the Webflow site?

Published on

To create a video popup in Webflow, you can utilize Webflow's Lightbox component. Here's an example of the code you can use to create a video popup in your Webflow site:

  1. Start by adding a new Lightbox component to your Webflow project.
  2. Give the Lightbox a unique name, such as "video-popup."
  3. Within the Lightbox, create a new link that will activate the popup. You can use any HTML element as the trigger, such as a button, text link, or an image. For example, let's use a button element:
<button data-wf-lightbox="video-popup">Open Video Popup</button>
  1. Next, you need to add the data-wf-lightbox attribute to the trigger element. Set the value of the attribute to the unique name of your Lightbox ("video-popup" in this case). This attribute tells Webflow to open the specified Lightbox when the trigger element is clicked.

  2. Inside the Lightbox, add a video element and configure it to display your desired video. You can either paste the embed code provided by a video hosting platform (such as YouTube or Vimeo) or upload your video directly to Webflow.

  3. Customize the appearance of the Lightbox and its contents using Webflow's built-in styling tools. You can edit the background color, border, position, and other visual aspects to match your site's design.

  4. Publish and test your site to ensure that the video popup works as expected. When the trigger element is clicked, the Lightbox should open, displaying the video.

Remember to replace "video-popup" with the unique name you've given to your Lightbox component.

Please note that the actual code implementation may vary depending on your specific requirements and the structure of your Webflow site.
