About this block
The VideoBlock embeds a video from YouTube, Vimeo or a direct MP4 source. It supports a heading, intro text, supporting body text and a poster image displayed before the video loads. The block handles consent-aware lazy loading — the video player is not initialised until the user clicks play, preventing third-party cookies being set without consent.
Supported video sources
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| YoutubeUrl | Standard YouTube watch URL |
| VimeoUrl | Standard Vimeo URL |
| Mp4Url | Direct link to a CMS-hosted MP4 |
Tips
- Always set the Image field — this is the poster shown before the user clicks play
- For GDPR compliance, prefer CMS-hosted MP4 over YouTube/Vimeo where possible
