Video – What This Section Does

The Video section brings together YouTube or Vimeo embeds, hosted video files, and lightweight Lottie animations—with thumbnail sizing, autoplay, and loop controls. Need buttons and an accordion alongside the player? Use Multifunctional video.

Tip

Hosted clips and YouTube autoplay usually require muted audio for the browser to start playback automatically—otherwise playback waits for user interaction.

Display Variants

  • Small previews (two-column grid) – several clips or crops at once in a clear two-column grid on wider screens
  • Large previews (full width) – each player spans the full column width, ideal for a hero spot or tutorial
  • YouTube: loop and autoplay (embed parameters) – repeat a single clip and start it automatically via embed flags

When to Use It

  • Brand spots, company intros, and product films inside the manual
  • How-tos, microlearning, and quick tool or process walkthroughs
  • Showcasing motion principles, UI animation, or in-product interactions
  • Moodboards and hero areas with subtle video or a Lottie accent

Varianta: Small previews (two-column grid)

The small previews layout turns the block into a two-column grid on wider screens. It works well for several spots or short excerpts from longer recordings.

Note

Each row can independently use YouTube, an uploaded MP4 (MOV, AVI…), or Lottie. For local files you can enable autoplay and looping.

Varianta: Large previews (full width)

The large previews option shows each item across the full width of the right column. One player dominates visually—ideal for a hero spot or a detailed walkthrough.

Note

You can stack several “Video” sections on one page—for example one large block on top and a grid of smaller items below, each as its own module.

Primary embed at full width; the caption stays as normal paragraph text under the player.

Varianta: YouTube: loop and autoplay

For YouTube items you can enable autoplay and looping. The template adds the right playlist/loop query parameters for a single clip.

Note

Autoplay on the web is delivered muted. For looping, the same video ID is also passed as the playlist parameter YouTube expects.
