Does anyone have experience building a custom video lightbox in Webflow that starts playing a Vimeo video when a button outside the lightbox is clicked?

Yes, it is possible to build a custom video lightbox in Webflow that starts playing a Vimeo video when a button outside the lightbox is clicked. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:

1. Start by creating a new collection in Webflow to store information about your videos. Add fields for the video title, description, thumbnail, and Vimeo video ID.

2. Next, design the lightbox container on your page where the video will be displayed. You can use a combination of div blocks and Webflow's built-in lightbox component to achieve this. Style the container to your desired look and feel.

3. Add a dynamic list inside the lightbox container and bind it to the videos collection you created earlier. Set the list to display all videos in the collection.

4. Within the dynamic list, add a thumbnail image element and bind it to the thumbnail field of each video. Style the thumbnail to your liking and make it clickable.

5. Add a click interaction to the thumbnail image, and in the interaction settings, choose to show the lightbox container you designed in step 2. You can do this by selecting the "element trigger" option and choosing the lightbox container as the target.

6. Now, go back to your main page and add a button element outside of the lightbox container. This button will be used to trigger the video playback.

7. Add a click interaction to the button, and in the interaction settings, choose to start playing the Vimeo video. To do this, select the "Vimeo player" option and enter the specific Vimeo video ID you want to play. You can find the video ID from the Vimeo URL.

8. Finally, preview your page and test the functionality. Clicking the thumbnail image inside the lightbox container will open the lightbox, and clicking the button outside the lightbox will start playing the Vimeo video.

By following these steps, you should be able to create a custom video lightbox in Webflow that starts playing a Vimeo video when a button outside the lightbox is clicked. Remember to customize the design and styling according to your requirements.
