How do I include a webm video in Webflow with autoplay functionality instead of using an animated GIF?

To include a webm video in Webflow with autoplay functionality, you can follow these steps:

1. Prepare your webm video: First, make sure you have a webm video file ready. If you don't have one, you can convert an existing video to webm format using various video editing software or online converters.

2. Upload the video to the Webflow project: In your Webflow project, go to the Designer and navigate to the Assets panel. Click on the "Upload" button and select your webm video file to upload it to your project's assets.

3. Add a video element to your page: Drag and drop a Video element from the Elements panel onto your desired page or section. By default, it will have a placeholder video.

4. Replace the placeholder video: Click on the Video element to select it, and in the right-side panel under the Video settings, click on the "Choose video" button. From the assets modal that appears, select the webm video you've uploaded.

5. Enable autoplay: To enable autoplay, select the Video element, and in the right-side panel, go to the Interaction Settings (lightning bolt icon) for that element. Click on the "Add an interaction" button and choose the "While page is scrolling" trigger.

6. Configure the autoplay action: Once you've added the interaction, click on the "+" button next to "Scroll animations" in the Interaction Settings panel, and choose the "Start playing video" action. Adjust the video settings as per your preference, such as looping, controls, and muted state.

7. Style the video element: Customize the video element's size, position, and any other styles using Webflow's visual designer tools to match your desired design.

8. Preview and publish: Before publishing your changes, make sure to preview your video element's behavior by clicking the "Preview" button. Once you're satisfied, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, your webm video will be included on your Webflow page with autoplay functionality, allowing the video to play automatically when a user scrolls or lands on the page. Remember to optimize the size and resolution of your video to ensure fast loading times and a good user experience.
