How can I add an MP4 file to my Webflow site?

To add an MP4 file to your Webflow site, follow these steps:

1. First, make sure the MP4 file is properly formatted and optimized for the web. This includes compressing the video file to reduce its size without compromising quality. There are various video compression tools available online that can help with this.

2. Once you have your MP4 file ready, log in to your Webflow account and navigate to your project.

3. On the Webflow Designer, select the page or section where you want to add the MP4 file.

4. Drag and drop an Embed element onto the desired location on your page. The Embed element can be found in the elements panel on the left side of the Designer interface.

5. Within the Embed element, click on the "Open HTML embed" button or double-click the element to open the HTML embed settings.

6. In the HTML embed settings, copy and paste the following code:

```html

Your browser does not support the video tag.\`\`\`

Replace `"path-to-your-mp4-file.mp4"` with the actual URL or file path of your MP4 file. You can host the video file on Webflow's servers or use an external hosting service like Vimeo or YouTube. If you choose to host the video file on Webflow, you can upload it in the Assets panel.

7. Customize the video dimensions by adjusting the `width` and `height` attributes within the `

8. Style the Embed element and the video player using the Webflow Designer or custom CSS if needed. This includes adjusting the size, positioning, and appearance of the video player on your site.

9. Preview and test the MP4 video by clicking the Preview button in the Designer to see how it appears on your published site.

10. Finally, publish your site to make the MP4 video visible to your site visitors.

Remember to optimize the video for different screen sizes and connections by considering responsive design and utilizing encoding settings that balance file size and quality. Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary rights and permissions to use and publish the MP4 video on your site.
