How to set up and style the Video Box widget in Elementor.
Video Box shows one video behind a cover image with a play button. The video plays in place or in a popup, and a video playing in place can follow the visitor in a corner of the screen while they scroll. It works with YouTube, Vimeo, the media library or a direct file link, and the player loads only when the visitor presses play.
Part of: Bright Addons Pro. Before you start: A YouTube or Vimeo video link, a video file in the media library, or a direct link to an MP4 or WebM file.

The player is removed, so the video and its sound stop at once.
