How to post a video on a 1C-Bitrix website

Video content attracts users' attention, conveys information better, and helps increase conversions and sales. It allows visitors to see products in action, understand their functionality and advantages. This is useful for products that are difficult to describe in words or images (electronics or furniture). This helps businesses to establish a closer connection with the audience. Through reviews, viewers can see and hear real people working in the company, which creates a sense of trust and personal connection.
