Video Embed Section
A universal section that lets you embed a video player in your invitation just by pasting a YouTube or Vimeo video link.
What Is the Video Embed Section?
- Embed with just a URL: Paste a YouTube/Vimeo video URL and it's automatically recognized
- Automatic thumbnail: Vimeo thumbnails are fetched automatically via API, while YouTube thumbnails are available instantly
- Universal section: Works for any purpose, from wedding video letters to conference introduction videos
Setup
Configuring in the Editor
- Add the Video Embed section from the left panel of the editor
- Configure the following options:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Video URL | A YouTube or Vimeo link |
| Section Title | Optional |
| Aspect Ratio | The video player's aspect ratio (default 16:9) |
| Caption | A short description displayed below the video |
Entering a URL
Enter a YouTube or Vimeo video link and it will be recognized automatically.
- On successful recognition, a "✓ YouTube/Vimeo video recognized" message is displayed
- If the URL isn't recognized, an error message is shown — double-check the link format
- For Vimeo, the thumbnail is automatically fetched and saved when the link is registered
Supported services are YouTube and Vimeo. Links from other services are not recognized.
Setting the Aspect Ratio
You can choose the aspect ratio of the video player. Matching it to the original video's aspect ratio ensures the video displays without any cropping.
For videos shot in portrait orientation, select the portrait aspect ratio option so the video displays in full without being cropped.
Usage Examples
- Weddings: Video letters from the couple, wedding highlight videos
- Business: Product/service introduction videos, conference teaser videos
- First birthdays/events: Growth journey videos, invitation videos
