Page videos & media

Page Videos & Media is available on the Professional plan. Open a flipbook in Customize → Media Lab, draw a region on the page, paste a video URL, set options, and save. The viewer rebuilds so readers see the video in place.

Supported sources

• YouTube — watch, share, Shorts, or embed URLs
• Vimeo — standard vimeo.com / player links
• Direct file — HTTPS links ending in .mp4, .webm, .ogg, .mov, .m4v (and similar)

Private or unlisted videos follow each provider’s normal access rules (cookies / signed links). Host the MP4 on a server that allows embedding (CORS / hotlink settings).

How to add a video

1. Open Preview & Customize for a Professional flipbook.
2. Choose Media in the side rail, then Add Video.
3. Drag a rectangle on the page where the player should sit.
4. Paste the URL, pick options, and Save video.
5. Close Media Lab when you are done; positions can be moved or resized with the on-page markers.

Playback options

• Pulse highlight — brief outline when readers land on that page
• Start muted / Autoplay — browsers almost always require muted autoplay; turn both on when you want playback to start on arrival
• Loop — replay continuously (direct files and most embeds)
• Player controls — show or hide the native control bar
• Poster image URL — optional HTTPS cover image for direct MP4/WebM before play

Mobile and page turns

On phones and tablets, taps on YouTube/Vimeo regions open a full-screen enlarge modal so playback stays inside the flipbook instead of jumping to the YouTube app. Direct videos use an in-page play control. When readers flip to another page, playback pauses so audio does not keep running in the background.

Plans and duplicates

Trial, Lite, and Basic accounts see an upgrade prompt—page videos are Professional-only. Duplicating a flipbook copies its page videos with the rest of the settings.
