Want your wedding website to feel a little more alive? Video Headers let you swap the classic photo banner for a looping video that adds movement, personality, and instant wow. They work on both desktop and mobile, and you can choose one of our ready made video designs or upload your own clip.

A Video Header is a full-width video that sits at the top of your website, behind your names and navigation, when you're using the Classic Navigation or Simple Scroll layout. It works just like a Photo Background header, only with motion that helps your site feel warm and welcoming.

If you have a special moment you want to feature, you can upload your own video. Joy supports videos hosted on YouTube and Vimeo, since these platforms handle the streaming for you.

You can upload:

After choosing a video, you can adjust your header text placement so everything looks balanced.

Guests will always see a clean, polished header. If you choose a video design or upload your own clip, guests will see the animated version when they visit your site. If the video cannot load, the placeholder photo will appear instead.

YouTube videos can be Public or Unlisted. Unlisted videos do not appear in search results and only people with the link can view them. Private videos cannot be embedded, so they will not display on your website.
​

Vimeo videos should be set to Public or Hide From Vimeo. Hide From Vimeo is available on Plus, Pro, Business, and Premium plans and lets you embed your video without showing it on Vimeo. If Vimeo blocks embedding, the video will not appear on your site.
