Set up a video pop-up

Create a video pop-up to showcase a product overview, a quick tutorial, or a promo video. For example, you can embed a YouTube video and set it to autoplay or start playing when clicked.

Unlike the Video element, this pop-up type consists of a single video only. You can’t combine it with other elements or use it in other pop-up formats.

Create a pop-up

Go to your website, open the Pop-ups tab, and click Create pop-up. On the template page, switch to the With video tab and choose a template or click Create from scratch.

You can also change the pop-up type to Video in the builder Style > Pop-up type. To configure the appearance and content of the pop-up, navigate to the Elements tab.

Add a video

In the YouTube video link section, paste the link to your YouTube video.

Customize the appearance

In the Video format section, select how the video should appear: Horizontal or Vertical.

In the Video playback section, select a video playback scenario.

Autoplay Your video will start playing after any user action on your page.
Click-to-play Once your page is loaded, users will see your video preview. The video will start playing when users click your pop-up.

Mobile device users need to click your video pop-up to play it.

In the Location section, select a placement relative to the edge of the screen.

Select a target action

Select a target action.

Without action Your pop-up will display only the video.
Call to action Aside from the video, your pop-up will also have a call-to-action button. Enter your button text, and select an action (close the pop-up or open the URL). If you have selected the second option, add a URL.

Continue setup

After customizing your pop-up design, click Next.

In the Display conditions tab, choose when and how the widget will appear.
