- Image Selection: Select an image from the media library. The recommended minimum dimensions are 1800 x 1200 pixels. You can upload an image of any size, and it will be automatically resized to fit. If the image's shape (aspect ratio) differs from the required 1300 x 780, it will be resized and cropped to fit these dimensions. Learn more about how automatic resizing and cropping works.
- Video: A special .mp4 video URL from Vimeo is needed as the video is ambient (muted, autoplayed); see Vimeo Help Center.
