Hi everyone,

I’ve been running into a bug on Figma Sites with the video carousel. When I add a video, everything looks perfect in the preview, but once I publish the site, the video shifts to the right side of the screen.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

  • Embedding from YouTube instead of uploading directly (but embeds can’t be used inside a carousel).

  • Replacing videos with GIFs (but the GIF size limit means the quality isn’t good enough for portfolio work).

  • Multiple attempts at re-adding, resizing, and re-formatting the videos using autolayout

So far, nothing has fixed the issue.

Has anyone else run into this same problem with videos in carousels on Figma Sites? If so, did you find a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@Emma Kopec ,

 

I understand you're running into an issue where videos inside a carousel look fine in preview, but shift to the right after publishing the site.
Thanks for sharing all the troubleshooting steps you've already tried — that’s super helpful.


I tried to reproduce the issue on my end but wasn’t able to see the same behavior so far.

To cover the basics, could you double-check a few things in this Help Center article?
Add images and video to a site

  • Is the video you're uploading within the supported file size and format?

  • Are you following the steps described in the guide?

If the video meets the requirements and you're still seeing the issue, would you be open to sharing a short screen recording that shows the problem?
It would be helpful if the recording includes:

  • The full window (including the properties and layers panels) with the video layer selected

  • The behavior you're seeing both in preview and after publishing

This will give us a better understanding of what’s happening and help us assist you more effectively.

 

Thanks,
