To embed a video in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Obtain the video embed code: First, you need to get the embed code for the video you want to display on your Webflow site. This can usually be obtained from the video hosting platform you're using, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Look for the "Share" or "Embed" option to generate the code.
Add an Embed element: In Webflow, locate the section or page where you want to embed the video. Drag and drop an Embed element onto the desired area. You can find the Embed element in the "Add" panel on the right-hand side of the Designer.
Paste the embed code: Double-click the Embed element to open the Embed Code Settings panel. Paste the video embed code in the provided field. The code should start with <iframe> and end with </iframe>. Make sure you copy the entire code.
Adjust the size and position: You can resize and reposition the Embed element to customize the display of the video. Click and drag the corners of the element to modify its dimensions. You can also adjust the position of the element within the section or page.
Preview and publish: Preview your site to see how the video looks. If you are satisfied with the placement and appearance, save and publish your Webflow site to make the changes live.

Note: Remember to ensure that the video embed code is supported by Webflow and the browser you are using. Most popular video hosting platforms generate embed codes that are compatible.

Remember to optimize your video's title and description for SEO purposes to improve visibility in search engine results.

Additional tips:

You can customize the appearance of the video player using Webflow's Designer tools or custom CSS.
To make the video responsive, add the w-full class to the Embed element and set a padding-bottom value of the container element to maintain the aspect ratio.
We recommend testing the video on different devices and browsers to ensure it functions properly.

Example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
