The Divi Video Module is an easy way to display videos anywhere on your website. Videos can be uploaded directly to your website via the WordPress media library or imported by a URL if your video is hosted on a 3rd party website like YouTube or Vimeo. The Video Module is useful anywhere you need a video on your site.

How to Add the Divi Video Module to Your Page

Add a new page or edit an existing page.
By default, the Standard Gutenberg Editor loads whenever a new post or page is added to WordPress.
Click the purple button underneath the page title. Use The Divi Builder.

Once clicked, the page will be reloaded with the Divi Visual Builder.

As your page reloads, you'll notice three options:

Build From Scratch
Choose A Premade Layout
Build with AI

Build From Scratch

This option loads the Divi Builder with a blank page design. Choose this option if you'd like to start your page design from Scratch.

Choose a Premade Layout

This option lets you choose from our large library of pre-designed Divi layouts. You can choose from premade layouts by Divi, which you've designed and saved to your Divi Library, and existing pages on your website that you can clone.

Build with AI

This option allows you to create an entire page layout using Divi AI. Using your text prompt and information about your website, you can create the perfect page outline, then build it and fill it with content and imagery, bringing it all to life in no time.

Add the Divi Video Module

Click the green + icon to insert a Row.
Click the gray + icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.
Find the Video module and click on it to load the module.
The module library is also searchable. Type the module name you want in the search bar at the top.

All Divi Video Module Options Explained

Once you’ve added the Divi Video Module, the module settings automatically pop up. This is where this module's content and design styles are configured. These settings are organized into three groups via the tabs at the top of the module: Content, Design, and Advanced.

Content Tab

Inside this tab, you’ll find the content options available for the Divi Video Module.

Video

Video Mp4 File or YouTube URL - Allows you to set either a self-hosted video (uploaded to WordPress Media Library), a YouTube video URL or a Vimeo video URL
Video WebM File - In the case of a self-hosted video, the webm version should also be uploaded to ensure the video is displayed correctly on all browsers.

How To Add A Video To The Divi Video Module

There are two ways to add videos to this module:

By uploading them directly to your website or by inserting a video from a URL.
By inserting a YouTube or Vimeo video URL.

Note: If you are uploading a video to your website, we recommend uploading both WebM and MP4 formats. WebM files have smaller file sizes (saving your server space) and better compression.

However, a few browsers and devices don’t support WebM, so uploading an MP4 file ensures your video will play on all browsers and devices.

A demo video is automatically added to the video slider when the module is first loaded. To replace the demo video, hover over the demo video and click the trash can icon. This will remove the video.

Once the demo video was removed, follow the following steps to add your video:

Click Add Video. This will bring up your WordPress media library, where you can browse from already uploaded videos, upload a new one, or insert from a URL.
Select the video you want,
Click the Upload Video button in the bottom right corner of the media library window.
To use a video hosted on another website (like YouTube or Vimeo, copy the URL of that video and go to your WordPress media library. On the lefthand sidebar, click Insert from URL.
Paste the URL to your video in the textbox. Then click the Insert Into Post button in the bottom right corner of the media library window.

Rounded Corners – Type in a numerical value for round border corners. The higher the number, the rounder the corners will be. The corner values are automatically linked (as seen by the highlighted blue chainlink in the middle); however, if you’d like to have different values for each corner, click the blue chainlink to unlink the values. If the values are automatically linked, they will always have the same value and update automatically if one value is changed.
Border Styles – Add a border to all sides of the module or individual sides (top, right, bottom, and left).
Border Width - Set the width of the border. For a thicker border, increase the number. The border width must be at least 1px to show.

Divi Video Module Display Conditions settings

Visibility

Disable on - Defines the visibility of the module. You can disable it (hide it from view) when the display window is a Phone, Tablet, or Desktop by clicking the corresponding checkbox.
Horizontal Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's left and right edges. This may be:
- Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.
- Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.
- Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.
- Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.
Vertical Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's top and bottom edges. This may be:
- Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.
- Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.
- Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.
- Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.

Transitions

This controls the hover animation's transition duration, delay, and speed curve.

Transition Duration - Defines the duration (in milliseconds) of the transition of the hover animation.
Transition Delay - Defines the transition delay of the hover animation (in milliseconds).
Transition Speed Curve - Defines the transition speed curve of the hover animation.

Position

Position - This defines the position of the module:
- Relative (default value) - The module is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset values are relative to itself based on the values of Vertical Offset and Horizontal Offset. The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the module in the page layout is the same as if the position were default (static).
- Absolute - The module is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor (if any) or the initial containing block. The Location options determine its final position
- Fixed - The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned based on the location options in relation to the browser window. This can be used to create a sticky module.
Vertical Offset - Defines the module's vertical position.
Horizontal Offset - Defines the module's horizontal position.
Z-index - Defines the order of the module in the page layout. Modules with a higher z-index number overlap modules with a lower z-index.

Scroll Effects

This section defines the module's behavior when the user scrolls the page. You can make the module sticky to the top, bottom, or both and decide if the module should transform as the user scrolls.

Additionally, you can enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the scrolling speed of the element without affecting the surrounding elements.

The Motion Trigger Effect feature lets you choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered. You can trigger the effect when the element's top, middle, or bottom is in view.
