How can I change the video in a video player using a button or thumbnail in Webflow?

To change the video in a video player using a button or thumbnail in Webflow, you can utilize Webflow's interactions and dynamic embed features. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Add a Video Player element to your page: Drag and drop a Video Player element from the Elements panel onto your canvas.

2. Upload your videos: Click on the Video Player element and go to the Settings panel on the right. Click on "Upload" and select the video file you want to use. You can also provide the video's URL if it's hosted elsewhere.

3. Create a thumbnail or button: You can use an image element or a button element as the thumbnail or button to trigger the video change. Drag and drop an Image or Button element onto your canvas.

4. Set up your thumbnail or button: Customize the thumbnail or button to your liking, and give it a unique class or ID for targeting in interactions.

5. Add an Interaction: Select the thumbnail or button element, go to the Interactions panel, and click on the "+" icon to add a new interaction.

6. Choose the trigger: In the interactions panel, set the trigger to be a mouse click or whichever event you prefer.

7. Set up the video switch: In the interactions panel, add a step to change the video source. Select the Video Player element, and in the Video field of the Settings panel on the right, click the dynamic icon next to the video source and choose the video you want to switch to. You can use the CMS or a Collection List to store and manage your videos.

8. Preview and test: Save your changes, publish your site, and preview the page to test if clicking the thumbnail or button switches the video in the player.

By leveraging Webflow's interactions and dynamic embed features, you can create a seamless video switching experience for your users. Remember to define clear visual cues for the thumbnail or button, and ensure your videos are appropriately formatted and optimized for web playback.
