The Video element places a platform video or a file from your site. Before the click on Play, the page only shows an image and a button: nothing is requested from the platform, no visitor data leaves, and the page stays light.
The fields
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Video title | Required. It names the Play button: a screen reader announces "Play the video:" followed by this title. It is also written on the image. |
| Video address | The address copied from the browser: YouTube (Shorts included), Vimeo, Dailymotion or PeerTube. Opus recognises the platform and the format by itself. YouTube goes through its cookie-free version, Vimeo without tracking. |
| Or a file from the site | An MP4 or WebM video from your media manager, played with the browser controls. It wins over the address if both are filled in. |
| Preview image | Optional for a platform: left empty, Opus copies the video thumbnail to your site once. |
| Caption | One line under the video: place, date, author, licence. |
| Transcript | The text of what is said and shown, in a "Read the transcript" panel. For deaf or hard of hearing people, those who cannot turn the sound on, and search engines. |
| Subtitles | For a site file: a .vtt file. Platforms show their own. |
Behind the gear
- Start at: in minutes and seconds (1:30) or in seconds (90).
- Loop: for a site file.
- Muted at start: the visitor can turn the sound back on. Playback never starts by itself.
To go fast
The Featured video model places a title and a text on the left, the video on the right. The Video brick places the video on its own.
Up to date for Opus 1.5.4.
