Video embed link from the server and not YouTube nor Vimeo

Embed With a <video> Tag (Native HTML5 Player)

You can drop the file into a page using the standard HTML5 player. For example:

<video width="640" height="360" controls> <source src="https://storage.googleapis.com/msgsndr/JK8f6kUODRR3CgL5KMJf/media/68db14e8d6293b48d41b0215.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag.</video>

That gives you a clean, lightweight video player that works across modern browsers. You can paste this snippet into a Custom HTML element inside GHL’s funnel/page builder.

2. Use a Third-Party Player (More Customizable)

If you want more control over the appearance, speed controls, branding, or analytics, you can wrap that same MP4 link into a player like:

  • Plyr.js

  • Video.js

Both can be integrated by dropping their embed code and your video URL into a Custom HTML block.

3. Host on YouTube, Vimeo, or Loom (Easier Sharing)

If you want tracking, captions, or a nicer out-of-the-box player, you might skip direct hosting and push the video to YouTube, Vimeo, or Loom. Each provides a proper embed snippet. The trade-off: you’re driving traffic through a third-party platform.

4. Direct Link for Download or Playback

You can also link to the raw file as a button or hyperlink:

<a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/msgsndr/JK8f6kUODRR3CgL5KMJf/media/68db14e8d6293b48d41b0215.mp4" target="_blank"> Watch Video</a>

This opens the file in the browser’s default player. It’s quick and easy, but less polished than embedding.

Best practice inside GHL funnels/pages: Use Option 1 (HTML5 video tag). It looks professional, loads fast, and doesn’t require a third-party platform. Add autoplay, loop, muted, etc. if needed.

Do you want me to give you a ready-to-paste embed code styled to be responsive (so it works on mobile and desktop without fixed width/height)?

I would love a responsive HTML embed code for that video link.

Perfect — here’s a responsive HTML5 embed you can drop into a Custom HTML block inside your GHL page or funnel. It will resize automatically for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

<div> <video controls> <source src="https://storage.googleapis.com/msgsndr/JK8f6kUODRR3CgL5KMJf/media/68db14e8d6293b48d41b0215.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video></div>

How it works:

  • The padding-bottom: 56.25% keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio.

  • The video stretches to fill the container (width:100%; height:100%).

  • It will shrink/expand smoothly across screen sizes.

  • You can swap 56.25% with 75% (4:3 aspect ratio) or another value if your video isn’t 16:9.
