GoHighLevel (HighLevel) funnels are built to sell, book calls, and onboard leads, but most pages convert better when they have video. That could be a simple welcome video, a VSL, a webinar replay, a product demo, a testimonial montage, a training lesson, or even a quick Loom-style walkthrough.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to embed video in GoHighLevel by adding a video element and pasting a custom embed code. This works whether you’re trying to add video in GoHighLevel funnels, landing pages, and membership pages, or you just want a clean player that looks good on mobile.
We’ll use VdoCipher as the video host in this tutorial. It’s great for video embeds, and it also gives you extra controls if you ever need them (like DRM, access restriction, dynamic watermarking, and Hacker Identification).
