    i see!

    im going to release a new update now.
    after you updated, create a .mp4 video element (+video -> +mp4 video)

    like this:
    7414b694-e61c-473e-a9e6-46fd0b3d32ff-image.png

    or use:
    lay custom controls:
    6882707f-be74-4b7b-a47c-be274c11e38f-image.png

    now in the gridder, select the video and in the sidebar check fixed height and set it to 100svh:

    b74147f0-6578-47cf-9d51-c886148e107a-image.png

    if you right click the row or the bar next to the row, you can also set the row to be browser height:
    ac8e008f-fcd6-4d58-a199-6812949bf40e-image.png

    if you do, then you can insert texts on top of the video too

    @arminunruh This solution is just what i was looking for! I followed every step you mentioned here but the video appears empty on the gridder, and doesnt show on the page... What could be the problem? Thanks for everything!!

        and are u sure u entered the right url?

        image.png

        it shouldnt be a embed url, but if u have a vimeo pro account, you should be able to get a streaming link or download link of the video that looks similar to:

        https://player.vimeo.com/progressive_redirect/playback/1126128470/rendition/1080p/file.mp4?loc=external&log_user=0&signature=ee8134cc70b92de5d4917e390d7877728073cc02d9132aee4b2768c9c1ffd517

          Aaaah, i think i get why is not working. My client pays vimeo, but the standard suscription, not premium. Maybe that's the issue. Thanks!!

              Hey! I got my client to upgrade to Vimeo Premium, now i can get this type of link.

              https://player.vimeo.com/progressive_redirect/playback/1161954692/rendition/1080p/file.mp4 (1080p).mp4?loc=external&signature=f1007cd65dda7682088442809c6dcb14b9630ee96efa633d4ade0d5628ec5e44

              I have done as you kindly explained here and the video plays with sound, but it disenables the fullscreen slider navigation, and it just seems to get stuck on the video row... any idea of what i could have done wrong?

              Here is a link to my site. https://www.polvorafilms.es/

              Thanks!

                Okey... it was absolutely my fault as i thought. Now it works perfectly fine.
                I'd like to know if there is a way of having a custom mute/unmute icon, and a way of having it in a custom position, like in the upper left corner.

                Thank you Armin!

                  pro tip:

                  instead of using vimeo pro, you can upload the video to bunny cdn
                  https://bunny.net/

                  and get the mp4 link from there. apparently thats cheaper than vimeo pro.

                  ok let me think about that

                    next update will get this:

                    grafik.png

                    and in the next version you'll need to enable this setting and set custom icons, in lay options, new video section:

                        Hey! I checked the new update, and i think that having the option for customising the size and position of the mute/unmute icon could be super helpful, just as in every other icon. Anyway, this is a huge improvement!

                        Meanwhile, is there any way of making this with code?

                        Thank you so much :)

                          but now you can already position this with the settings? if you want a different size i think you can just upload a smaller icon?
