Wix Video App Is Basic
The built-in Wix Video app gives you no player customization, no engagement analytics, and no CDN control. You’re stuck with a one-size-fits-all player and zero insight into how viewers interact with your content.
Uploads Eat Your Site Storage
Native video uploads count against Wix’s site storage — limited on most plans. A few high-quality videos can eat half your quota, forcing you to upgrade your entire Wix subscription just for more video space.
Custom Players Are Difficult
Wix’s drag-and-drop editor makes custom video player implementations difficult. You’re locked into the default player styling with minimal control over controls, colors, or behavior.
How SmartVideo Makes Wix Video Actually Work
Add via Settings → Custom Code → Head
Go to your Wix dashboard, navigate to Settings → Custom Code → Add Code to Head, and paste one script. That’s it — no app install, no marketplace dependency, no recurring platform fees. Requires a Premium plan. Installation guide →
HTML Embed or Wix Blocks for Placement
Use Wix’s HTML Embed widget (or Wix Blocks for reusable components) to place <smartvideo> tags anywhere on your pages. Full control over sizing, positioning, and responsive behavior — the way custom video should work on Wix.
CDN-Accelerated Delivery
125+ edge locations deliver your videos with low-latency delivery worldwide. No Wix hosting bandwidth consumed — SmartVideo handles all video delivery independently, so your site stays fast regardless of video traffic.
Auto Vimeo Conversion
Already using Vimeo embeds on your Wix site? SmartVideo detects and converts them automatically — no re-uploading, no editing pages one by one. Your existing Vimeo videos just get lighter.
Lightweight Player
The SmartVideo player is lightweight — a fraction of YouTube’s heavy embed. On Wix sites that already carry a heavier framework, this difference is critical. No compounding bloat, no layout shift, no jank.

Goodbye, YouTube embeds. Will not miss you! The thing I hate the most about YouTube embeds, other than the bloated code, is that they can steal my traffic with their branding and suggested videos. Swarmify brings an amazing solution.
Love this app. I have videos on my site and this takes away the annoying suggested videos and makes them look more professional and faster. I installed Swarmify on my WordPress site and the process was very easy via the plugin.
Bye YouTube! SmartVideo is incredibly fast, stable, and bloat-free!
I implemented this on my site and immediately saw an impact. I am very impressed with how simple they have made the entire setup. It works very well and as advertised.
Best video player and video CDN. I highly recommend SmartVideo! I love using SmartVideo because it boosts the load times of my website and video plays, by preventing YouTube from stealing my site visitors.
This tool is easy to setup and as easy to use. Does the job as intended, no-nonsense. Really enhances the experience of having video on your website.
Very Fast and SUPERB support! I was using Wistia and switched to Swarmify. My video now loads really fast!
Bye, Vimeo. I was using Vimeo for my courses, but it can be expensive. The solution was Swarmify. From the moment you press play, it plays. No buffering problems. I've used it for almost 200 videos and it works like a charm.
We attained a 200% conversion rate increase in our lead-gen funnels. Simplicity and great user experience are everything.
My videos load and play instantly. Every second counts when it comes to online sales.
I set up a page with a YouTube video side by side with SmartVideo and pressed play on both. SmartVideo loaded immediately; YouTube took 5 seconds to start. It became a no-brainer, and we've been a customer ever since.
We've had a 10% increase in conversion rate from lead to customer. We believe this is directly related to the addition of video to the website.
Our search-engine rankings went up after we switched over to Swarmify. Making the switch has led to a significant increase in our business.
The attention of buyers is really short, so fast video loading makes an enormous impact.
The videos load fast, there's no lag, and the player is customizable and looks professional.
If you need to market a brand, then you need Swarmify. Always.
I've honestly NEVER seen video play this fast on the web before. I used to think YouTube was reasonably quick — Swarmify makes YouTube look like a Model T racing a Ferrari.
After using Swarmify we are incredibly annoyed. But only because of our mistake of not having used Swarmify before. Super fast video player and CDN!
Swarmify cut down our hosting expenses in half while accelerating load times and protecting our videos from unauthorized access. If you need a neat video player without unwanted branding, Swarmify is the way to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SmartVideo work with Wix's free plan?
No. Wix's Custom Code feature (required to add the SmartVideo script) is only available on Premium plans. You need at least a Wix Premium plan to use custom head code. Once you have Premium, setup takes under 5 minutes.
Can I use SmartVideo with Wix Editor X / Wix Studio?
Yes. Wix Studio (formerly Editor X) supports Custom Code and HTML Embed elements the same way the standard Wix Editor does. The setup process is identical — add the script via Custom Code, place videos via HTML Embed.
Will SmartVideo conflict with the Wix Video app?
No. SmartVideo operates independently of the Wix Video app. You can use both simultaneously — SmartVideo won't interfere with native Wix Video elements on your pages. Many users keep Wix Video for basic clips and use SmartVideo for high-priority content.
How does SmartVideo handle mobile on Wix?
The SmartVideo player is fully responsive and optimized for mobile. It adapts to any container size, supports touch controls, and uses adaptive bitrate streaming to match the viewer's connection speed — critical on mobile networks.
Can I auto-convert Vimeo embeds on my Wix site?
Yes. Once the SmartVideo script is installed, it automatically detects and converts Vimeo embeds across your entire Wix site. No need to edit individual pages or re-upload videos.
Does SmartVideo work with Wix's dynamic pages (CMS)?
Yes. Because the SmartVideo script loads site-wide via Custom Code, it works on both static pages and dynamic CMS-driven pages. Videos embedded via HTML Embed elements in dynamic page templates will stream via SmartVideo's CDN just like any other page.
What happens if I exceed my view limit?
You're never cut off. A small per-thousand overage rate applies. No throttling, no interruption — your videos keep playing.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — every plan includes a 14-day free trial with no charge until day 15. See pricing for plan details.
Add the script under Settings → Custom Code (head, all pages) and drop SmartVideo into an Embed HTML widget — no premium Wix Video plan, no Velo coding, and none of the storage caps Wix puts on uploaded video.
