Can Webflow buttons or thumbnails be used to change the video in the video player?

Yes, Webflow buttons or thumbnails can be used to change the video in the video player. To achieve this, you can use a combination of Webflow interactions and custom code.

First, you'll need to set up your video player element using the built-in Video element in Webflow. Add a thumbnail image for the video player and make sure the video source is set correctly.

Next, you'll want to add buttons or thumbnails that correspond to different videos you want to display in the video player. You can use Webflow's Button element or any other element like a Div block styled as a thumbnail image.

To change the video in the video player when a button or thumbnail is clicked, you'll need to use Webflow interactions and custom code. Here's a step-by-step process to accomplish this:

1. Select the button or thumbnail element you want to use.
2. Go to the Interactions panel in the Webflow Designer.
3. Create a new interaction for the button or thumbnail element.
4. In the interaction settings, choose an appropriate trigger event like a click.
5. Add an action to the interaction, and select the Video element as the target for the action.
6. Set the action to change the source of the video to the desired video file. You can use either a direct URL or a dynamic URL from your CMS collection.
7. Customize any other interaction settings as desired, such as animation or transitions.

After setting up the interaction, test your button or thumbnail to see if it changes the video in the video player as expected.

If you need more control and flexibility over the video player, you can also incorporate custom code using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Webflow provides a custom code embed feature that allows you to add your own code snippets to your project.

In summary, Webflow allows you to use buttons or thumbnails to change the video in the video player by utilizing interactions and custom code. This gives you the ability to create interactive video experiences and enhance the user engagement on your website.
