Background vdo not Showing on Page

Design help General

I added a background vdo. It’s an MP4 but it’s not showing up when I publish the site, or in preview mode. The little thumbnail in the style settings shows the vdo having been uploaded. But it doesn’t show up on the page.

Can you help? The mp4 is also not listed in my ‘assets’, wonder if that’s the issue?

Here is my site Read-Only:

As it’s not showing in preview mode my guess is that it’s corrupt in some way. You can see the size is unknown as well.

You could try publishing to staging and checking this page to inspect the HTML and URLs.

Beyond that, probably just re-upload it, or host it elsewhere.
Since you’re showing a screen recording and text, it’s probably not ideal for Webflow’s transcoding process which is more suited for lower-resolution atmospheric vdeo.

Personally I’d probably host this on Cloudflare R2, or Vidzflow, or Bunnystream something like that.
