Enable overlay video playback

Set a video tile to open in a full-screen overlay when clicked. Covers the overlay option and how it differs from inline playback.

Videos are an effective way to present information and engage site visitors. Zoomforth provides several ways to display videos, including Slideshow, Video Playlist, Third-Party Embed, and HTML Package sections. You can also use videos as backgrounds in Grid and Text sections.

Videos can be played directly within a section or tile using inline video playback, or they can open in an overlay modal.

An overlay video playback modal opens the video above the current page content while dimming the rest of the page. This keeps the video in focus without taking visitors away from the page.

Enable overlay video playback

  1. In the Site Editor, select the video tile you want to update.

  2. In the left editing panel, select Actions.

  3. Under On Click, select Expand & Play Video.

  4. Click Done Editing Tile to save your changes.

When a visitor clicks the video, it will open in an overlay modal and play above the page content.
