Video
With the Video section, you can feature a video on your home page. You can preface your video with a hi-def thumbnail and custom marketing text. This video section plays YouTube and Vimeo videos with controls and audio, unlike the autoplaying background video feature in the Slideshow, Slideshow split, Collage, and Image with text sections.
This section accepts video links from YouTube and Vimeo.
