Reel – Video Lightbox

Reel includes a unique feature called Video Lightbox.

The advantage of this feature is that it’s fully supported by all devices, including tablets & mobile devices. For example, video background feature may not work on some mobile devices, while video lightbox works without any problems.

Using Video Lightbox you can display a YouTube, Vimeo or even a self-hosted video in the slideshow and portfolio posts in a lightbox.

You can find the options for this feature when you edit or create a Portfolio or Slideshow post:

Simple insert the URL to a YouTube or Vimeo video or upload a self-hosted video, and the theme will do the rest.

For videos from YouTube and Vimeo the theme will also suggest you a thumbnail which you can set as the Featured Image of the current post.
