Hello all, I have a video gallery and I would like the video to popup as an overlay when clicked on. I tried a few options but I cannot get it to work natively in Sitejet. Has anybody been able to get this functionality to work ? ---

Hey Jeff, there might be a nice workaround. - Set a picture / thumbnail of the video as a picture element. - Set a link on the picture to the video from the media manager. - Set the link to Overlay. - Now, when you have saved, you should have the video opening in an overlay, when you click on the picture. Try it out and let me know if that worked. ---
