Hi! I want to add a mp4 into the Work section that is inside a CMS collection but the only option i see is as a Link but I don’t want to host it in another website, is there a way to add it like a normal mp4?
Hey Carlo,
Not directly. The only direct vid hosting Webflow does is for background vids which must be < 30mb and have no audio. There also isn’t a direct CMS capability supporting background vids as a field type, so it’s a bit of a hack.
The common way is to use a service like Vimeo or YouTube, then use the CMS vid field to store that link and bind it to a vid element.
Another popular solution is a 3rd party service called Vidzflow which is specifically designed for vid hosting + Webflow.
A lot of designers just prepare the vids themselves and host externally. Some even do dropbox though it’s not advisable.
