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
