The simplest way to add professional video to your Wix site in 2026
Wix includes native video hosting on all plans, but storage is shared across all media types (images, documents, video) with limits from 2 GB to unlimited depending on plan tier. File size caps range from 4-15 GB. Analytics are limited to basic play counts and shares. Wix auto-optimizes video with adaptive bitrate, which works for casual use, but you have no control over encoding quality or player branding. For businesses using Wix as their primary site, YouTube embeds remain the common fallback — bringing ads, branding, and performance problems with them.
Upload any format via drag-and-drop or resumable TUS upload. Videos are transcoded to HLS adaptive bitrate automatically.
Get the iframe embed code for each video. Customize player color, controls, and captions via URL parameters.
Use the Wix Editor HTML embed widget or Wix Velo to add the iframe to any page. Works in any section, blog post, or dynamic page.
Monitor views, watch time, completion rates, and viewer geography from your host.video dashboard.
Wix sites serve millions of small businesses. When those businesses outgrow basic video needs — wanting better analytics, branded playback, or more storage — they need a solution that works within Wix without requiring a platform migration. External video hosting via iframe embeds gives you professional video without changing your site builder.
Wix native video works for basic use but shares storage with all media and offers only basic analytics. YouTube embeds are free but add ads and branding. Vimeo embeds are cleaner but come with bandwidth caps.
