This article will show you how to create a video banner, with the option to upload a video from your computer, through the Layout tab on a page. 

Important Note  

• You can also create a Video Banner through Design Center. The Design Center module may incur an additional cost, please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information about the Design Center.

Guidelines/Recommendations for Video Banners

• Videos should be kept as small as possible to not slow the site down
  • Videos are limited to no more than 10MB
  • Utilize compression as effectively as possible prior to uploading (we recommend using a program such as Clipchamp or HandBrake)
• Video length should be 12-30 seconds
• Files should be mp4 and will play using HTML5 which is supported by most browsers
  • Mobile devices and older browsers will display a static Poster Image instead of a video
• If any text is placed on top of the video, make sure it is high contrast so that it is accessible for visually impaired users
