Definition

Videos help demonstrate services, showcase results, and support engagement when used thoughtfully.

Why isn’t my embedded video working?
The video may be set to private or restricted on the hosting platform. Videos must be publicly shareable to display properly.
Why is part of my video cut off?
Background and full-width video elements crop content based on aspect ratio and screen size. This is expected behavior for responsive layouts.
Can Hibu edit or resize my video?
No. The client must provide a final, compliant version.
Why is the wrong thumbnail showing?
Embedded video thumbnails are controlled by the hosting platform. Hibu cannot modify these.
Why is my uploaded video loading slowly?
Load times depend on the user’s internet speed. Background videos may load more slowly due to size or motion content.
Why is my video not appearing when added via URL?
If the hosting platform restricts the video’s visibility, the embed will fail. Test with a different link to confirm.
