What it does
Putting video on a page often means juggling embed codes from different platforms and working out how to display them neatly. This addon handles that inside the MotoPress Visual Page Builder. Its slideshow widget lets you combine images and videos from YouTube, Vimeo and HTML5 self-hosted files in one slider, so mixed media sources can live together in a single, manageable element.
The lightbox widget opens videos in a popup so visitors can watch without leaving the page. You can trigger these popups from buttons or links using the builder's default modal elements. Both widgets are added and arranged with drag and drop, and you can set custom thumbnails, captions, autoplay and slideshow speed. Layouts are responsive, so they adapt to different screen sizes. It suits product, service and portfolio pages built with MotoPress.
Best for
- Sites built with the MotoPress Visual Page Builder
- Portfolio sites presenting work through video
- Business pages featuring product or service videos
