Adding and Editing Videos

6 min readUpdated 1 March 2026

Limecube supports embedding videos from YouTube and Vimeo directly into your website. Three different methods are available depending on how you want the video to appear — within text content, as a full-width banner, or as a responsive standalone element.

Method 1: Content Block

Best for inserting videos within text content on your page. Add a content block, click the settings icon, then the video icon. You can either upload a video file directly (General tab) or paste an embed code from YouTube or Vimeo (Embed tab).

Method 2: Banner Element

Ideal for prominent video displays without visible player controls. The banner element strips platform controls automatically, creating a clean, immersive video background. This works well for hero sections at the top of your page.

Method 3: Video Integration Element

The dedicated video element provides responsive video placement with a thumbnail preview on initial load. Key features include automatic responsiveness across all devices, a thumbnail preview until the visitor clicks to play, and improved page speed scores by deferring video loading.

Adding a Video Element

1Click '+Add Element' in the page header bar
2Drag the Video icon to your preferred location
3Choose the type: URL or embed code
4Paste your YouTube or Vimeo link
5Enable 'Show preview' for a thumbnail placeholder
6Toggle 'Responsive' for automatic device adaptation
7Click 'Apply' to save

Adding Videos to Boxes

You can also embed videos inside box layouts. Click inside the text area, locate the video icon on the toolbar, paste the URL into the Source field, and confirm.

Use HD quality (720p minimum) and create engaging, clear thumbnails. Set video visibility to Public or Unlisted on YouTube/Vimeo, and include captions for accessibility and SEO benefits.
