Figma is a cutting-edge design tool that enables designers to collaborate live. It is a versatile platform that empowers users to create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes. By incorporating videos into a Figma design, you can enhance your prototype and offer a more interactive experience for viewers. Regrettably, Figma does not have built-in support for videos. But there’s no need to fret! We have a solution for you to include videos in your Figma design at no cost with the help of a plugin.
Step 1: Install the Figma Video Player Plugin
The first step is to install the Figma Video Player plugin. This plugin will allow you to seamlessly add videos to your Figma designs. Open up Figma, go to the “Plugins” tab, search for “Figma Video Player”, and click “Install”.
Step 2: Add Video to Your Design
Next, open the design file in which you want to add a video. Select the frame where you want to insert your video, go to the “Plugins” tab, and select “Figma Video Player”.
In the plugin window, you will see a field to enter the URL of the video that you want to embed. Paste the URL of your video and click “Insert”.
<iframe src="https://www.example.com/my-video" width="500" height="300"></iframe>
This will add an <iframe> with your video into the selected frame.
Step 3: Adjust the Video Player
Once the video is inserted, you can adjust the size of the video player to fit your design. You can also adjust the video settings, such as autoplay, loop, and mute. Just click on the video player and you will see the settings on the right side of the Figma interface.
Final Thoughts
Adding video to your Figma designs can enhance the user experience and provide more context for your designs. With the help of the Figma Video Player plugin, you can easily add videos to your designs for free.
Please note that if you’re using videos from a third-party platform, ensure you have the correct permissions to use and embed them in your design.
Thanks for reading, and happy prototyping!
