# Can I change how my buttons look?

Topic: [Design, branding and languages](https://mindstamp.com/help/design) · Updated: 2026-09-25

## Short answer

Yes. Select the button and open its **Styling** tab to change colors, border radius, font size, position, size, transition and animation. For the default look of every button, use the **Buttons** section in **Design**. You can also format the button text with simple HTML.

## Steps

1. Open the video and select the button on the timeline.
2. On the **Content** tab, write a short label that says what happens, such as "Book a call".
3. Open the **Styling** tab.
4. Set **Border Radius** and **Font Size** with the minus and plus buttons.
5. Drag the button on the video to move and resize it, or type exact values under **Position**. Use **Match** to copy a value from another interaction.
6. Choose a **Transition** (how the button appears) and an **Animation** (motion while it shows).
7. Preview the video on a laptop and a phone.

_On the Design page, set button and text colors and roundness for the account, or override them for one video._

## Set the default for every button

Open **Design** and go to **Buttons**. Set **Colors** (**Text**, **Background**, **Border**) and **Roundness**. New buttons start with these values. Set them from **Branding** in the side menu to apply to every new video.

Transitions and animations are available on Core and higher plans.

## Add many buttons with one style

Style your first button, then set the **Buttons** defaults in Design to match, so every new button starts with that look. To add several buttons at once, see the related article on multiple buttons.

## Format the label

Button labels accept simple HTML, such as a line break or bold text. Keep labels short. Long labels wrap on phones and make the button taller.

```
Book a call<br><span style="font-size: 0.8em">15 minutes</span>
```

## Keep a small set of styles

- Use one style for the main action and one for secondary actions.
- Keep the same style for the same kind of action in every video.
- Keep enough space between buttons for a finger to tap the right one.
- Do not rely on color alone to show that a button is the main action. Use size, position or the label as well.
