Tips

• Always upload a cover image. Without one, visitors see a blank rectangle until the video loads — especially on slow connections.
• For background-style videos (no audio, atmospheric), turn on autoplay and loop. For product demos or tutorials, leave autoplay off so visitors choose when to watch.
