Integrate videos into my website [bandwidth question]

"I want to use Dropbox videos as a background or showcase on a website.
However, I've heard that Dropbox has bandwidth limitations, [20GB per day for free subs to dropbox] which means I might encounter a Dropbox bandwidth error if, for example, 1000 visitors per day visit the website and the background video, hosted on Dropbox, starts playing and will be used more than bandwidth  20GB ?

Paid subs has 1000GB per day, so if there will be used for ex. 0.1GB x1000 users = 100GB bandwidth per day [from website video, embeded] all will be good, correct?

    I just wanted to mention that the bandwidth limit refers to downloads from shared links - you can have a look here for more information.
