Hi there,

I was curious if Adobe Portfolio has expanded to allow users to set videos as a lightbox on a landing page, or do you need to still click on an icon to go into another page to play a video that's embeded then back into the first page to see more videos?

Also, can users change the thumbnails on videos they upload via Adobe yet?

I've been hoping/waiting for years for it to allow these pretty simple but very useful features that would make it more professional for video portfolio users.

Lightbox viewer is for images only.

For best video user experience, use the Embed Module to add videos from YouTube.

It's responsive and YT streams content from dedicated streaming media servers.

Yes, I do know that lightbox is for images only. That's why I posted about having it for videos as well. Navigating in and out of pages for single video playback isn't very user-friendly.

I appreciate the suggestion of using YouTube. However I'm hoping for a bit more "polish" than that, right?

Definately think that the site should allow direct uploads of videos instead of only allowing YouTube videos to be linked. Wix allows multiple videos to be uploaded and placed anywhere on site. I will make this case on the support link you sent.
