Question about Videos

Is there a specific reason the relume components use a lightbox for this? we consistently are using videos for our site (church sites) and the component is using a lightbox.

@Nicolas Rodriquez I would say the main reason is that the space where the video lives is usually not big enough to watch the video comfortably. There's likely some other reasons. Another one is that the lightbox setup makes it super easy to create a custom thumbnail.

You can add ?autoplay=1 to the video URL so that when a user clicks on the lightbox, it starts playing the video.

This makes sense. Keeping the 16:9 ratio is what's killing me in these scenarios.

For the thumbnail or? I can try to help resolve that if you send along a read-only link.
