Background Video

I am REALLY hoping that someone here can help - i have spent hours reading and watching, but cannot get something seemingly simple to work: a background video.

Instead of diving into a description of my issues, is there a link anywhere to a guide on how to do this? Ideally something from the Bricks team?

Youtube version generates a black box with no play controls, Bunny CDN a white box with no play controls.

Hi Ezzer,
Background videos work for me without any problems - even with the same YouTube URL you are using:

Are any errors displayed in the console as soon as you add the URL?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. With the Youtube link the console says “Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT”.

For the Bunny one, there is nothing. And that is the one i actually want!

Ok, please try it in an incognito window and/or on a different browser. Maybe one of your browser extensions is blocking the requests.

OK, have tried it on every possible browser - nothing.

The issue remains that when i add a video as a background, it doesn’t display anything.

Cannot easily express how frustrating this is. I have spent absolutely hours on this. It works instantly in Elementor…

The iframe code should be what is entered in the “background video” field - right?

No, a URL. Please send temporary login credentials and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase.

Thank you, an absolute tonne. Have sent an email now.

Short update: the background videos work without any problems - user error :slight_smile:

Yup, it was indeed a usererror. Hugely appreciate being a member of something where help was available.

For future readers, a background video on a section is easy to adjust in the way i wanted. Embarrassingly, I kept screwing up the file’s address in my media library.

The error was much less complicated that i thought: just couldn’t find it.

So, thanks again to the Bricks Folks for rescuing me.
