Configuring Video URLs in Relume and Webflow Lightbox

At a glance

The community member is asking if there is a way to pre-configure the URL of videos within Relume so they don't have to re-add the "?autoplay=1" feature in Webflow every time. Another community member responds that autoplay should generally be disabled for accessibility and user experience reasons. The original community member clarifies that they are not referring to autoplay when the page is scrolled, but rather not having to click play twice - once on the website and then again on the video. They mention that they can't include the YouTube link from Relume like they can with images, and that having this ability would be a major time saver. Another community member acknowledges the great idea and says they will add it to a list for the team to consider for components.

Also, is there a way to pre-configure the URL of videos within Relume so I don't have to readd them and "?autoplay=1" features in lightbox over in Webflow every time?

@William McGuire I dont think so. I would say 90% of the time autoplay should be disabled - mostly for accessibility but also for user experience.

Thanks @Matt I don't mean autoplay from the sense when someone is scrolling on the page it autoplays, I'm referring to them not having to click play twice.

  1. Currently I can't include the YT link from Relume like I can with images. (being able to add the video link from Relume would be a major time saver)
  2. So after it's imported to Webflow, I add the YT video URL

If I don't add ?autoplay=1 in Webflow, then the user has to click on the video from the website and then click again to play it.

ah yeah got it - totally misunderstood that - my apologies - this is a great idea - I'll add this to a list for the team to consider for components!
