To embed a .mov file into your website using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Prepare your .mov file: Before embedding the .mov file, make sure it is compressed and optimized for web viewing. This will help improve the loading time of your website.
Upload your .mov file: Go to the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you want to embed the .mov file. Click on an element or section on the page where you want to add the video.
Add an embed element: In the right-hand panel, click on the plus icon (+) and search for "embed" in the elements panel. Drag and drop an "Embed" element onto your page.
Obtain the embed code: Next, you need to get the embed code for your .mov file. You can host your video on platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, or use a cloud storage platform like Dropbox or Google Drive to obtain the embed code.

If using YouTube or Vimeo, upload your .mov file to the platform, and copy the embed code provided.
If using Dropbox or Google Drive, make sure the file is publicly accessible by sharing it and obtaining a shareable link. Then, get the embed code by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Embed" or "Embed Code".

Paste the embed code: In the Webflow Designer, double-click the embed element you added in step 3. In the settings panel, paste the embed code that was copied in step 4 into the "Embed Code" field.
Adjust settings: Customize the appearance and behavior of the embedded .mov file by adjusting the settings in the embed element, such as the width and height.
Preview and publish: Finally, preview your website to ensure that the .mov file is properly embedded. If everything looks good, publish your website to make the embedded video accessible to your visitors.

Please note that some browsers may not support the .mov format by default, so it's recommended to provide an alternative format (such as .mp4) for better compatibility across different devices and browsers.
