Adding video to your website design, particularly your home page, can engage visitors. But producing original videos can be difficult and expensive. Instead, consider free stock video resources for short, quality clips on a wide variety of subjects.
Here is a list of websites to find free stock videos for commercial use. There are small, curated video collections, and extensive digital libraries filled with clips, animations, and more. Be sure to verify the licensing of any video before using it.
