Element covers

You can add a video asset as element cover. See elements for instructions.

ℹ️ Video assets cannot be set as component covers.

Playback behavior

When you set a video asset as an element cover, double-click its thumbnail within the element to open its settings panel.

In the settings panel, you can configure the video's playback behavior as follows:

1. Play Behavior (checkboxes):
   • Autoplay: Automatically starts video playback when the element loads in Play Mode. (Required if Show controls is disabled.)
   • Show controls: Displays standard video playback controls. (Required if Autoplay is disabled.)
   • Show options on video end: Hides the element's option buttons until the video finishes playing. (Available only when Stop at end is selected.)
2. Stop Behavior (radio buttons):
   • Stop at end: Plays the video once and then stops.
   • Loop: Repeats the video indefinitely.
