From this quick overview, you will find out more about the WordPress Video widget in Gutenberg. We will also learn how to customize this block in the Gutenberg editor.
Firstly, let’s start the overview by adding a Gutenberg Video block. Click on the plus icon and place the element on the page. After that, you can upload your video from the Media Library, your PC, or simply insert the video from URL.
After you have added the block, a bunch of Video settings becomes available immediately. You can start by enabling autoplay and loop.
Add playback control and make it play inline. You are also able to mute it. As well as set the preload.
One of the additional features, which is available for the Video widget WordPress block, is posting a featured image. In case you haven’t enabled autoplay, the visitors will see the image until they turn on the video.
