How Do I Play a Video on Wix?

Last updated on January 8, 2023 @ 11:36 am

There are two ways to play a video on Wix – either through an app or by using HTML code. To play a video through an app, you will first need to find a compatible video app in the Wix App Market.

Once you have found an app, simply follow the instructions on how to add it to your site.

To play a video using HTML code, you will need to use the <video> tag. The <video> tag can be added to any page on your site, and you can use the following code to play your video:

<video width="400" controls>
<source src="https://www.wix.com/your-video-url" type="video/mp4">
<source src="https://www.com/your-video-url" type="video/ogg">
</video>

You can also use the HTML5 <iframe> element to embed a video from another site, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Simply copy and paste the embed code from the other site into the HTML code of your Wix page.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to play a video on Wix, be aware that there are potential risks involved.

While Wix does offer a built-in video player, it is not always reliable and can sometimes cause problems with playback. In addition, Wix does not currently offer any kind of customer support for video playback issues.

So, if you encounter any problems while trying to play a video on Wix, be aware that you may be on your own in terms of finding a solution.
