    Hi! My videos are in the MP4 format and hosted on Amazon’s AWS. I would like them to play in a Lightbox. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Give this a plugin a shot: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-featherlight/

    Thanks! Looks promising, but I cannot figure out the correct syntax to use. The plugin documentation doesn’t mention videos.

    Ahh not sure if it does videos.

    Maybe this one? https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-video-lightbox/

    Or you can try googling “WordPress video lightbox”

    The latter plugin does only Youtube and Vimeo embeds, not self-hosted MP4 files.

    The Featherweight plugin mentions videos on the main page, but has no documentation for videos. I tried using simple syntax, the lightbox comes up on a text link, but the video doesn’t load (the video player doesn’t show either). As if the video type is not recognized by the plugin.

    Might be worth asking their support.

    Could also try asking on https://stackoverflow.com/ if you need a custom solution.

    Thank you! I have posted to a few of the places. The only reason I asked here was because I trust you guys and because I thought you already dealt with this issue.

    Could also look at Lity. See this thread for more info: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/embed-videos/
