🖨️ 4. Configuring Video Layouts & Display Options

Once you insert the JaJuMa Video Widget extension for Magento 2, you are presented with a powerful set of options to control the video's source, layout, and visual presentation.

📐 4.1. Choosing a Video Layout

The Layout setting allows you to arrange your videos into common responsive patterns without writing a single line of code. This is perfect for creating visually appealing, structured content pages.

🎬 4.2. Adding Your Video Source

This is where you tell the JaJuMa Video Widget extension for Magento 2 which video to display. The required input changes based on the widget type you selected.

• For YouTube:
  Simply copy and paste the full video URL from your browser's address bar (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...).
• For Vimeo:
  Copy and paste the unique numeric Video ID from the Vimeo URL (e.g., for https://vimeo.com/123456789, you would paste 123456789).
• For Local Videos:
  Use the Video Upload button to select and upload an .mp4 video file from your computer.

📸 4.3. Configuring Display & Responsive Options

These settings fine-tune the visual appearance of your video before it's played, ensuring it looks professional and loads efficiently.

• Image Upload (Local Video only):
  This field allows you to upload a custom "poster" image. This is the image the user sees before they click play. A compelling poster image can significantly increase play rates.
• Preview Image Quality (YouTube/Vimeo only):
  The widget automatically fetches a preview image from YouTube or Vimeo. This setting lets you choose the resolution. There is a trade-off to consider:
  • Lower Resolution:
    Loads faster, improving page speed. Ideal for smaller video embeds or when performance is the top priority.
  • Higher Resolution:
    Looks sharper and more professional, especially on large screens.
• Preview Image Alt-Text (YouTube/Vimeo only):
  Text used as alt-Text for preview images.
• Aspect Ratio (YouTube/Vimeo only):
  This is a critical setting for responsive design. Selecting the correct aspect ratio (e.g., 16:9 for most modern videos, 4:3 for older ones) ensures that the video player scales correctly on all devices, preventing the unprofessional "black bars" that appear when the ratio is mismatched.
• Disable KB Controls (YouTube only):
  Disable keyboard controls in YouTube player (for Accessibility).
