How do I add video background to my banner

cssoliman3 — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 22:01:27 GMT

Instead of a photo as my banner background, how can I have the banner be a video with text over it?

Like this example:

HI, I believe you can add a video at the top of the home page. It would not be within the regular Banner section. Within the Edit Site, toggle off the Banner, then Add Section, scroll down to Media, select Video, then adjust the settings, remove Video Title and Video Description.

I tried that earlier, but the video doesnt autoplace like that example in the website

You also dont have an option to put text over the video

Do you know if there is a way to add a video directly from files, not YouTube?

Perhaps, you could use a video editor to add text directly on top of your video and save it that way. Then add the video to your website. It still won't be autoplaced but one less thing to rig.

Can you not post the video with the text added on youtube, then add it to your home page? I get where you are going. I also want this same feature as depicted in your link.

@Square: You need to add this feature. I will leave your flatform. Your competitors have it out the box.
