# Video player

The inline video player in Pipeline lets you quickly embed a video from YouTube, Vimeo, or even an MP4 video right into the page, ***without a popup***. 

Allow your customers to watch extended videos that showcase your brand, products, and services. The videos are conveniently located within the section. 

### Play inline

Videos are displayed and played inside the section. Including YouTube, Vimeo, and MP4 videos. Add a Rich text section to create a heading:

### Customize

Choose a video to play and use the options in the section settings to fine-tune the section:

You can adjust the video aspect ratio to match the style of video you're using:

### Add a placeholder image

To brand the video player, you can add a placeholder image. When shoppers click on the play button, the video will still play inline ***without a popup***:&#x20;

* Alinement over the section
* Text color
* Background color, for a solid background or transparency
