Can You Play Videos in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:41 pm

Yes, you can play videos in Figma. You can either upload a video file from your computer, or embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo. To add a video to your design, select the “Video” layer type from the Add Layer menu at the top of the screen.

Once you’ve added a video layer to your design, you can resize and position it just like any other layer. You can also add masking and blending effects to create interesting effects.

PRO TIP: There is currently no way to play videos in Figma. If you try to upload a video file, it will be rejected.

To play a video, simply click on the play icon in the middle of the video layer. The video will start playing in your browser window. You can also right-click on the video layer and select “Play Video” from the context menu.

If you’re working on a shared design, anyone else who has access to the file will be able to see and play the video. However, they will need to have an internet connection in order to do so.

So there you have it! You can now add videos to your Figma designs. Have fun experimenting with different ways to use this new feature!
