    As far as I know you have to embed a Video which is hosted through a third party solution like vimeo, vidzflow, youtube, etc.

    But the item fields for url links in the CMS looks like webflow with their CDN (assets.website-files.com)

    Hey Daniel Bøllingtoft, I checked the template and I believe they have uploaded the video as a 'Background Video' element and once the site is published, the URL you see in the CMS would be available as the video source. And then they have used the HTML embed to embed a video element using the CMS link fields as source.
