In short, yes you can add video to your Figma prototypes!
There are a few different ways that you can go about adding video to your prototypes, but we will just be covering the two most popular methods in this article.
The first method is to simply embed the video into your prototype. To do this, you will need to get the embed code from the video platform that you are using (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). Once you have the embed code, you can then add it to your prototype by selecting the “Embed” option from the “Add” menu.
The second method is to use a video player widget. There are a few different widgets that you can use, but we recommend using the “Video Player” widget from the Figma widget library.
This widget allows you to add a video player to your prototype without having to embed the code yourself. Simply add the widget to your prototype and then upload or choose the video that you want to use.
Conclusion:
So there you have it! You can now add videos to your Figma prototypes with ease. Whether you choose to embed the code yourself or use a widget, both methods are easy to use and will help bring your prototypes to life.
First, make sure that the video you’re adding is relevant to the prototype and adds value to the design. Adding video just for the sake of adding it will likely result in a prototype that feels cluttered and confusing.
Second, keep file size in mind. Adding video to your prototypes will increase the file size, so make sure that you’re using a format that is optimized for file size.
Finally, make sure that the video you’re adding is hosted on a reliable platform. If the video is hosted on a platform that is prone to buffering or downtime, it will disrupt the user experience of your prototype.
