How can I stop a video from playing when a modal is closed in Webflow? I've tried using an HTML embed but it didn't work.

To stop a video from playing when a modal is closed in Webflow, you can use some custom code. The HTML embed approach might not have worked because the video element is not directly accessible within the modal. However, you can achieve the desired result by using JavaScript to control the video playback.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Add an HTML embed element to your Webflow project and place it within the modal. This element will hold your video player code.

2. In the HTML embed, you can use an iframe or Video.js (a popular HTML5 video player library) to embed your video. For example, if you're using an iframe, your code might look like this:

```html

3. Give a unique ID to the HTML embed element. You can do this by selecting the element in Webflow and defining an ID in the element settings.

4. Next, add custom JavaScript code to stop the video when the modal closes. Assuming you're using the default Webflow interactions, you can open the page settings and find the "Custom Code" section. Insert the following script in the `` section:

```javascript

```

Make sure to replace 'your-embed-id' with your actual embed element ID (the one you set in step 3) and 'your-modal-class' with the class of your modal element.

This script listens for the 'hide' event on your modal and triggers the `stopVideo()` function, which sends the necessary commands to stop the video playback.

Save your changes and publish the site to see the effect.

Remember to emphasize that this solution assumes you're using a popular library like Video.js or an embed code that supports the 'postMessage' API for cross-origin communication. If you're using a different video player or custom code, the implementation might vary.
