Creating a pop-up video on Webflow is a great way to add engagement and interactivity to your website. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this:

Prepare your video: Before you start creating the pop-up, make sure you have your video file ready. You can host your video on a platform like YouTube or Vimeo, or you can upload the video directly to Webflow.
Add a button: Decide where you want the pop-up to be triggered and add a button or an element that will serve as the trigger. This can be a text link, an image, or a button element.
Create a modal: In Webflow, you can create a modal to display your pop-up video. Go to the Elements panel and drag a Modal component onto the canvas. Customize the styling of the modal to match your website's design.
Add an embed element: Inside the modal, add an Embed element. You can find this element in the Elements panel. This element will contain the code to embed your video.
Embed your video: Once you've added the Embed element, click on it to open the Embed settings. Depending on where your video is hosted, you can either use the embed code provided by the platform (such as YouTube or Vimeo), or you can upload your video file directly to the Embed element.
Link the trigger to the modal: Go back to the trigger element that you added in step 2. In the settings panel, find the "Click trigger" option and select the modal you created in step 3. This will link the trigger to the modal, so that when the trigger is clicked, the modal will open.
Test and refine: Preview your website and test the pop-up video. Make sure it opens and displays the video correctly. If needed, make adjustments to the layout or styling until you're satisfied with the result.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create a pop-up video on Webflow and enhance the user experience on your website.
