What this solution does
The site video widget operates on a story-like principle: a small, silent circular video plays in the corner of the page to attract attention. Clicking it opens a vertical player in 9:16 format featuring full video with sound, a progress bar, a volume control button, an overlay caption, a call-to-action (CTA) button, and branding elements.
This solution is suitable for welcome messages, company presentations, testimonials, case studies, promotional campaigns, and "how to order" guides.
Functional capabilities:
Support for two video clips and a cover image: a short preview for the circular widget, a main video for the player, and a static poster.
Vertical 9:16 player with support for seeking, sound control, and closing.
Call-to-action (CTA) button with the ability to link to any URL.
Caption next to the circular element and text overlay on the video; the caption position can be set to automatic or fixed to the left or right.
Configuration of widget position (corner selection), margins from edges, circle size, and accent color.
Options to loop the preview and start the video without sound.
Targeting by URL masks, automatic opening after a specified number of seconds, and a limit of one display per session.
Responsive design: on mobile devices, the player expands to full screen. The solution requires no external frontend dependencies.
Supported video formats: MP4, WebM, MOV, M4V, OGV. Poster formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF.
The video widget is automatically placed on public website pages without requiring any changes to the site template. The solution does not require additional modules or external libraries and operates on PHP 8.
The module is free of charge. In the free version, a visible link to the developer, Interland, is displayed in the footer of the player. This is not a hidden SEO link and does not affect the site layout.
Technical support. Since the module is free, installation, configuration, maintenance, and any modifications are provided on a paid basis. Contact details and the technical support operating procedure are listed in the dedicated support section.
