Wistia video as element as image background

[wtdm]

Hi,

I was trying to place a Wistia video as a background but it does not show up.
Only shows if I insert in content area.

Thanks for your help

Hi @wtdm,

Thanks for writing in.

Background videos are only applicable for self hosted videos (videos with actual URL or File name). And that video has its own player which doesn’t work well with Wordpress’s default player. Hence, it can’t be added the same was as self hosted videos. Please use a different video with actual URL, example, http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/video.mp4

Thanks!

Got it, thanks.
Will upload the vid then.

Have a great day.
