Hi everyone,

I’m trying to add a video as a background on my home screen. I followed the video tutorial but struggled to follow it. Can anyone help me add this?

There should be one there already but it doesn’t seem to be playing. I need to add a new one.

Thanks

Are you seeing the video on this published version?

Thanks for your help by the way and sorry to pester you.

It’s ok.

No not on the published site. To begin with, convert your .mov to .mp4, .ogg AND .webm. these are the 3 formats you need for the web. Replace the .mov link by the .mp4 link and let’s see how it goes.

I have now added the mp4 file link https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngfgjxr15nlhyms/COOLVENUEAWARDS2014.mp4?dl=0 and still no luck.

Still nothing with the .ogg file link

Dropbox - Error>

12

use https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com in your urls, not dropbox.com

That’s worked. Vincent, I can’t thank you enough for your help. So sorry to have pestered you.

Much appreciated. I’m learning.
