Troubleshooting, tips, and tricks
My video isn't working
The Responsive Website Builder simply pulls in the video and embeds it on the Site. If the video isn't working, 1) the video itself may be down or 2) the sharing settings on the video is preventing it from being played.
To fix this, make sure that the video has the appropriate sharing settings.
The wrong thumbnail is showing
The thumbnail image is pulled from the YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion settings. Try using the embed code that the video host provides and place that in using the HTML element to see if the issue persists.
How do I choose the streaming quality?
The streaming quality will depend on the limits that is available on YouTube/Vimeo/Dailymotion. The user will be able to adjust the quality as they see fit using the settings icon.
It loads too slow
The video load speed depends on the connection speed of the viewer.
