Section Background showing over assets

Community resources General
1

Hi there, I have a very simple holding page design with one section on full screen, absolute display. Any image that goes over it (Into the body directly) or into the section seems to show behind the section background image. I’m trying to add a container with a backgroundvideo to go over the section background but it only shows up behind it. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,

Ananda

Please provide a link to review or you try below options

1. Check the Section’s z-index

  • Select the section that’s covering everything
  • Go to Layout → Z-index and set it to 1 or auto
  • If it’s set to a high number (like 100 or 999), that’s why nothing can appear on top

2. Position the Background V!deo Properly

  • Set the background v!deo container’s position to absolute or fixed
  • Then set its z-index to something higher than the section

For example:

  • Section → Position: absolute, Z-index: 1
  • V!deo Wrapper → Position: absolute or fixed, Z-index: 10

3. Make Sure It’s Not Nested Inside the Section

If the v!deo is inside the section that has the background, it will always be below unless you break out of the stacking context. Ideally:

  • Place the v!deo at the body level, or outside the problematic section
  • Then position it over the section

Thank you!! I hadn’t used Webflow in a long, long time. Had completely forgotten about z-index. That did the trick👌🏼, thanks again
