           Yes, Webflow enables you to add a video in a lightbox that automatically loads and opens on page load. You can achieve this by following these steps:
- Create the Lightbox:
 
- Drag and drop a Lightbox component onto your Webflow page.
 - Customize the appearance of the Lightbox using the Design panel. You can modify its background color, add borders, control the positioning, and more.
 
- Add the Video to the Lightbox:
 
- Inside the Lightbox, add a Video component by dragging and dropping it.
 - Upload your video or provide the URL of the video hosted elsewhere (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
 - Customize the video by adjusting its dimensions, autoplay settings, loop settings, and more using the Video component settings.
 
- Set Lightbox to Open on Page Load:
 
- In the Navigator panel, select the Lightbox.
 - In the element settings panel, go to the Interactions tab.
 - Click on the "+" button to add a new interaction trigger.
 - Choose the "Page Load" trigger option.
 - Under the "Affect Different Element" section, select the Lightbox.
 - Set the interaction to "Open" the Lightbox on page load.
 
By following these steps, you can have a video automatically load and open in a Lightbox as soon as the page loads.
Benefits of using a video in a Lightbox:
- Improved User Experience: Opening a video in a Lightbox prevents users from being redirected to a different page or site, improving their overall experience.
 - Focus on the Video: By isolating the video in a Lightbox, it becomes the center of attention, increasing its effectiveness in delivering your message.
 - Mobile-Friendly: Webflow's Lightbox is responsive and works seamlessly across different devices, ensuring a consistent experience for your audience.
