    I want to have a video placeholder (that will play a video) on the main page. How can I do that? Any specific theme that will allow me?

    Many thanks for your support!

    Hi there,

    are you using the Gutenberg block editor? If so use the Video Embed block.

    Thanks.

    I am going to setup a new website (new WP installation). So I am assuming it will be Gutenburg.

    Yes I can use the video embed block.

    But I need that to be a separate section on the home page. Where a visitor can come and play the video to know about my business.

    Please see the attached screenshot and link.

    Will the Home Page be a static page ? Or set to display your Recent Posts (Blog)?

    Below the section of the video, I want to display the latest posts.

    Couple of choices.

    1. Use a static page for your home page and use the WP Show Posts plugin to display your most recent posts.

    2. Create a responsive Embed for the Video – this site will do that for you:
    https://embedresponsively.com

    And then use the GP Hook Element to insert it:
