How to Add Videos in Duda

Welcome to Duda Dojo, where we discuss all-things Duda!


Videos are one of the most compelling and captivating forms of media, making them potent tools to include on your website. In this tutorial, we explore how to do just that. Throughout the demo, we outline two primary methods of adding videos to your Duda website:

• Embedding videos from Vimeo, YouTube, or DailyMotion via URL
• Uploading videos directly to Duda

Let’s dive in!

Duda allows website builders to embed videos within a widget or on a page background.

To embed a video in your page background:

1. Click on your row, and select Edit Design. 

2.  Beneath Style, you can choose to add a solid color, image, or video to your page background.

3.  Select the video tab. 

4. Add your video URL. Below the link, toggle Play video in a loop, if desired.

5. If desired, select a background overlay and adjust the color and opacity.

1. Right click on your empty column.

2. Hover over Add – Widget below – More widgets. Find and select the video widget.

3. From here, add a YouTube, Vimeo, or DailyMotion URL to your widget.

4. Within the Design tab of your video widget editor, you can change the width of your video or toggle Full width to display your video across the entire website page.

In both examples above, you have the option to upload a video to your Duda website.

1. In your video widget, above the URL box, click the Upload video button. 

2. From here, you can select a video you’ve already uploaded or click Upload to add a new video.

3. Select a file to upload from your computer. Depending on the size of the video, this can take anywhere from a couple of seconds to a couple minutes to upload. Duda allows you to upload videos up to 200 MB in size.

4. Once the video is compressed and optimized, it will be available to select.
