BACKGROUND VIDEO
Hello BeTheme team.
www.korijallpa.com
1. In HOME we want to have a video like Background and Parallax, the section is created and the video is uploaded to the WordPress Gallery in MP4 and OVG.
We want a position of the video in your DEMO:
https://themes.muffingroup.com/be/mechanic2/
If you could tell us how they configured that video, we would do so and not as the background that it is now.
2. In iOS you cannot see the video that is now set as Background. We know that there is a message that says it may not be visible in browsers (we read it). Could you tell us how to make it visible on iOS? What is the best configuration to have a VIDEO on the web and to be seen in all browsers and operating systems?
Thank you.

Hello,
1) The video on that demo was created with the video item. If you wonder how it was created, you can import this page with the Single page import option.
2) I think that the best option will be uploading and using a youtube or vimeo video for that.
Thanks
Phil, thanks for your answer.
If i use the YOUTUBE option, ¿How I do for only view the video without the others videos of youtube (finish) and how I can put de Autoplay?
Thanks Phil.
And Phil, with this options this video they will be able to see in iOS (iPhone and Mac)?
Thanks
Phil, good afternoon.
I configured as you indicated, I imported from the template, everything was configured but when I put our video on it, it doesn't work. Autoplay does not work and it says that it will not work on iOS (hopefully one day you can solve it) but it does not start or in Chrome on my computer, the video is stopped. I don't want to put the control bar on it, the idea is that it be a video without controls. How can we put a PLAY SYMBOL in the middle of the screen and not see the controls?
Thanks for your time and help Phil.
Greetings.
Unfortunately, it is not limited by our theme but by OS, so autoplay does not work on mobile.

As it is not related to Betheme, there is not much we can do about it.
However, if you want to hide controls, enable loop, etc., you need to add parameters like on the second screenshot from my previous message.
Under the following link, you can check Youtube attributes:

Thanks Phil, i'm checking your information now.
See you.
Hi Phil,
I did a test and I put an image on it (PREHOLDER) and it worked, the image comes out and I can press it to activate the Video Play. But the bottom menu of the controls makes the space wider than 100% of the video at the top and at the bottom that is marked in the photo.
How can I make the video work the same as in Temp
late Mechanic 2? https://themes.muffingroup.com/be/mechanic2/
Is curiosly, now I went to the Mechanic2 template website and the video remains on a black background and does not start.
Why does this happen that sometimes works and sometimes does not work?
Thanks Phill.
Please, change the Parameters to "autoplay loop muted", and check your video is working as you wanted, then.
We will take a closer look at the video on that demo, and its behavior.
Cheers
Hi Phil, thanks for all.
Now the Audio is not heard because we said MUTED to it. Now I can view de Control (ok).
Phil, how can we reduce the black space to 0px? We want you to be without that black margin at the top and bottom of the video. And if you can without controls but with AUDIO.
Thanks
Please, remove the height and width values so that the video will be scaled automatically.
Thanks
Thanks Phil
