Full page video background - without PAID additional software please



User: Dirk V. 5 years ago
Hi,

My several websites are quite ok and running well, but for one of them I would like to create a more aggressive and catchy video background. I work in the film industry so I have managed to select a clip, make it small while maintaining quality and so forth, uploaded it to an upload service to stream it + uploaded it to the website resources folder itself so it might even stream from there.

What I am unable to do and therefore would very much love to know is how to put this video as a responsive full-width background on my site. I am explicitly asking for a solution that does NOT use any third party software because I don't want to run into compatibility issues between EV and those software that might lead to downtime. And also because from my - very limited - knowledge of HTML and EV, my guess is that EV should be well able to handle this by itself.

Thank you all so much for help!

Hi Dirk!

EverWeb doesn't have such the native widget with such a feature.
What we can try is the following:
1. This widget: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2rk1ci2n6yuwco/full-width%20background%20video.ewwdgt.zip?dl=0
2. You've asked for no third-party software. I am sorry, but I would still suggest this: http://everwebwidgets.com
This is a third-party website, yes, but it offers only EverWeb-suited widgets, thus there will be no compatibility issues. These are all EverWeb widgets specifically.

If you have further questions, could you please submit a support ticket? Log in to the Client area and click the blue button "Open New Ticket" on the Welcome page. Direct link: https://billing.ragesw.com/submitticket.php
I'll take it from there and will do my best to help you!

You could check out the Full Page Background Video widget.
It's better to use a Viewport Height video than a background video.

Try THIS is you need some animation.
