Hosting options for background videos

Deriss · November 18, 2020

As of now there's two options for video thumbnail to showcase what's inside that portfolio case. Youtube and Vimeo.

There are many other options out there nowadays to host video. I have taking liking of one in particular (Wistia) which has features Youtube and Vimeo doesn't.

Video loop thumbnail.

As of now I do gifs as thumbnails which is all now poor in quality and large files 5-10 mb in 640px

I would like to insert other video formats in particular Wistia, why is it restricted to only these two options? Youtube and Vimeo?

Can we open this feature to more video hosts?

Hi @Deriss

Thanks for the suggestion. We don't currently offer Wistia as an option for background videos, but I'd be happy to suggest it to our development team on your behalf. While we can't guarantee implementation of every suggestion, customer feedback is an important part of how we continue to improve our platform, so we appreciate your input.

Also, I'd like to point out that as per point 6 of the forum guidelines we don't usually track feature requests in this forum. So, in the future for any feedback/suggestions that you would like to be logged and as tuanphan mentioned, contacting our Customer Support team would be the best approach.
