Do I have to use a Widget to Display Images or Videos on my website?

No, images and video files can be added directly to the pages of your website, however, please bear in mind that, the larger the image or video file, the more space it will take and the longer it will take to load when being viewed in your internet browser.

Additionally, when a video file is added to the website, it is automatically converted to the Site Builder embedded video player format, depending on the size of the video file, this can take some time.
