The Divi Video Slider Module is an easy way to display a collection of videos on your website.

It can display a video portfolio, training videos, tutorials, and more.

Videos can be uploaded directly to your WordPress website or inserted via URL for videos hosted on YouTube and/or Vimeo.

How to Add the Divi Video Slider 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.

Content Tab

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

How to Add a Video to the Video Slider Module

There are two ways to add videos to this module:

By uploading them directly to your website
By inserting a video from a URL

Note: If you are uploading your video, 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.

Option 1: Upload a Video to Your Website

When the Video Slider module is first loaded, a demo video is automatically added to the video slider. Click the gear icon next to the New Video toggle to replace the demo video.
Click the trash can icon on the demo video inside the module settings. This will remove the demo video from displaying.
Click Add Video. This will bring up your WordPress media library, where you can browse from already uploaded videos or upload a new one.
Once you have selected the video you want, click the Upload Video button in the bottom right corner of the media library window.

Divi Video Slider 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.
