Background video function site.

Would you like to add to the audio option in the background video of the site?
and have the option of the visitor turn off the sound?

And would like to know why in the mobile function does not work the background video on the site?

Hi there. Smiley Happy Videos do not auto play on mobile to protect the user's data. If you are using a video as a background, then the video will show as a static image on mobile. Some people have been able to successfully use a .gif file, but I'm not sure if this works all the time.

I really need my MP4 to play on mobile devices. I have it as a background to section but can change that.

I can't use animated GIF because the dithering/mapping looks terrible.

Outside of theme customization or possibly using an app from the App Center, I'm not sure there'd be a way to do this, @Abemis.

Weebly has become an absolute joke. Forum after form, post after post, year after year, hundreds of weebly users are asking over and over again for the same basic features for their website and time after time Weebly just ignore them. 

People have been asking for video backgrounds on mobile since 2016 and its now 2020 and weebly still haven't done it, and worse still there aren't even any simple work arounds. 

Auto video play is another feature, as are customisable shopping buttons.
