The Video Block is a UniLink block that lets you embed and display videos directly on your link-in-bio page, keeping visitors engaged without redirecting them away.
What is the Video Block?
The Video Block allows you to showcase video content — product demos, tutorials, vlogs, brand stories, or any YouTube, Vimeo, or direct video URL — right on your UniLink page. Instead of sending followers to a separate platform, your videos play inline, increasing watch time and reducing drop-off. It is ideal for content creators, educators, coaches, and businesses that rely on video to communicate their value.
How to Add the Video Block
- Log in to your UniLink Dashboard
- Open your page editor
- Click Add Block (+)
- Select Video
Configuration Options
- Video URL — Paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or direct MP4 link to embed your video instantly.
- Title — Add a headline above the player to give viewers context before they hit play.
- Description — Include a short caption or call-to-action beneath the video to guide viewers on what to do next.
- Autoplay — Toggle autoplay on to start the video automatically when a visitor loads your page (muted by default for browser compatibility).
- Loop — Enable looping for short clips or background-style showcase videos that benefit from continuous playback.
- Thumbnail Image — Upload a custom thumbnail to replace the default video preview and make your page more visually polished.
Best Practices
- Keep featured videos under three minutes — shorter content holds attention and leads to higher completion rates for visitors arriving from social links.
- Write a compelling title that speaks to what the viewer will gain, not just what the video is about.
- Pair your Video Block with a Button Block below it so viewers have a clear next step — book a call, shop your product, or subscribe — right after watching.
