Video Splash Widget Update

August 5, 2024

We're excited to announce a major improvement to our video splash widget. We've replaced the static PNG play icon with a versatile SVG  icon. This simple change opens up a world of customization possibilities for your video splash.


Why This Matters

  • Flexible Design: Easily adapt the play icon's color, size, and even its overall style to seamlessly integrate with your website's look and feel.
  • Crisp on Any Screen: SVGs are resolution-independent, meaning your play icon will look sharp and clear on everything from high-resolution displays to mobile devices.
  • Brand Consistency: Make sure your video previews reinforce your brand identity by using a play icon that complements your other visual elements.


Updating Your Widget: A Quick Guide

  1. If you're updating an existing video splash widget, you might encounter a broken link for the old play icon.
  2. Click Choose Icon and search for a new "play" icon.
  3. Choose an icon that is clear, recognizable, and conveys the action of "play."  Remember, the primary goal of a play icon is to signal that your visitors can click to start a video. Choose an icon that's instantly recognizable. Avoid overly complex designs that might confuse your audience.
