    I’ve been searching for an hour or two and not finding any simple answer. I’ve started down the Revolution Slider path and that is just too much. Embedding video gives me a play button and not a full screen video on my website.
    All I want to do is add video like the demo on the top of my site that auto-plays and loops. Looking to build a one page site with a video at the top, nothing too fancy.

    Hi There,

    Thanks for writing in! In that case please add your Youtube video as a slide Background.

    Make sure your slider has a transparent background color so the video would be visible.

    Hope it helps, Cheers!

    So is the first slide transparent and the next the video (NX77Uh8UsXI)?
    I don’t see it in preview window and from what I’ve read I want the video in a content layer – right?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for updating the thread! Sorry for the confusion. You can add a video background via page settings. You need to make a transparent slider and select the slider in the above masthead area.

    You can follow this post as a guide. Note, you may need to omit some steps if you don’t want layers on top of the video.

    Hope this helps – thanks!
