DRUPAL MODULE / MEDIA & PUBLISHING

Colorbox Media Video

Opens remote media videos in Colorbox overlays, using text links or thumbnails and optional video galleries.

What it does.

Colorbox Media Video adds an overlay player to Drupal’s Remote Video media type. Visitors can open an embedded remote video from a text link or thumbnail while staying on the surrounding page.

Site builders configure it as the formatter for the media item’s Video URL field. Thumbnail image styles control the launch image, while gallery grouping lets related videos share the same Colorbox browsing experience.
