See it in use here: https://oslobikerental.no
Find the url to the video you want to use.
Note: Make sure you have the necessary license/rights to use this video on your site
Also, be aware that a large video (file size, not dimensions) will slow your page and could significantly impact your SEO.
Go to "Settings" > "Template"
- Pick a custom code slot that isn't used for anything else
- Open html editing
- Add the following code:
<div> <style> video { width: 100% !important; height: auto !important; pointer-events: none; } video::-webkit-media-controls-panel { display: none !important; opacity: 1 !important; } </style> <video src="URL_GOES_HERE" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" muted="" controls="controls" width="300" height="150"></video></div>
- Where it says "URL_GOES_HERE" - paste your video url inside the quotemarks.
- Hit "Ok"
- Repeat for other languages
- Publish
Troubleshooting
Video doesn't load
- Make sure you are linking to the actual video file (should end in .mp4 or .mov or maybe .webm).
Video is too fuzzy
- Small (resolution) videofiles are scaled up / stretched to cover the entire page width. Small files will look fuzzy. You can use a higher resolution video at the cost of bandwith (page speed).
Video doesn't play automatically — I have to press play for it to run
- Copy the code again. It sounds like you removed some properties.
Video doesn't loop
- Copy the code again. It sounds like you removed some properties.
Video takes forever to load
- Larger files take longer to load. Try a smaller (file size) video.
Can I remove the watermark/text on the video?
- No, if it is part of the video it can't be removed. Ask the creator for a clean version.
Can I place the video somewhere else?
- Technically you can place it anywhere you can edit html. That doesn't mean you should!
