Benefits of Showcasing a Video Gallery on Your Website
There are many good reasons to display a Video Gallery on your website, including:
- Engagement: Videos can be more engaging to a site visitor than text or an image. Properly selected videos make your website more aesthetic and inviting.
- SEO Benefits: The Video capabilities on a website can solidify what the website is about and add to the story. By hosting videos and embedding them on a website, your site’s search engine optimization can be positively impacted.
- Social Proof: If you have any customer testimonials, product demonstrations, or other forms of social proof in video format, showcasing them on your website can help your audience trust you more, and trust generally means higher conversion rates.
- Demonstration and Instruction: Videos are a great way of showing how products work or giving people tutorials and instructions, and you can achieve that more efficiently than when using text alone.

MaxAddons Video Gallery element does not let you control the size of the Lightbox for playback. Nothing I have tried in Bricks Builder settings has any effect on Lightbox size…. nothing. So it’s basically useless unless for me unless I only want the inline video output, which I do not.
Oh and just try to get a response from Support at MaxAddons. Nice.

MaxAddons Video Gallery element DOES allow easy control of the Lightbox size and their newest update adds even more control. I should have mentioned that I am a novice with WP. Very likely I was not looking in the correct settings field.
The company’s support did reach out and helped me use their element correctly, for which I am very grateful. Tried another company’s Lightbox product but after installing in WP, could not see the elements in Bricks Builder, so I value MaxAddon’s integration with Bricks even more now.
