What Format Do Videos Need to Be for WIX?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:32 am

If you’re looking to add video content to your Wix site, you’ll need to make sure that your videos are in the right format. In general, Wix supports most popular video formats, including MP4, AVI, MOV, and WMV.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind when adding video to your site.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

First and foremost, your video file must be hosted on a supported video platform. Wix currently supports YouTube and Vimeo.

If you have your video file hosted on one of these platforms, you can simply add the video URL to your Wix site. Alternatively, you can host your video file on a third-party service such as Amazon S3 and then add it to your Wix site using an HTML5 video player.

PRO TIP: When creating videos for Wix, it is important to make sure that they are in an appropriate format. Otherwise, they may not display properly or may not be compatible with the site.

Once you’ve added your video to your Wix site, you can then customize it using the built-in Wix Video Player. With this tool, you can add a custom thumbnail image, set the autoplay and loop options, enable fullscreen mode, and more. You can also control how your video appears on mobile devices.

In general, Wix supports most popular video formats. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when adding videos to your site. Make sure that your videos are hosted on a supported platform and that you use the built-in Wix Video Player to customize how your videos appear on your site.
