Webflow sites are design-led, so player appearance matters more here than on most platforms. Webflow native video is limited to 30 MB background clips, which rules it out for real video content. Vimeo has a native Webflow embed element, making it the quickest to set up, though the Vimeo branding may clash with your design. Mux gives the most control but requires a developer. Bunny Stream is the cheapest option for low-traffic portfolios. If you want your video player to disappear into your design with no third-party branding, look for white-label players with custom domain support.
