Why would you want a background video?

Just asking to facilitate the process of creating a solution to your problem

All I want is the video to autoplay behind the brand logo and stop(my client want it to stop)once its done… but open to any other solution!

Use embed code with HTML <video> tag and set attribute to autoplay. However using this method, you will need to host your video elsewhere.

That is exactly what I was about to suggest.

Using the background video component is perfect and its autoplay, my only problem is that I want it to stop once its finish… In my link above, its perfect, but its looping… Do you have a code to stop it?

See if this works for you

Background video No Looping

I just tried following option and seams to work on Win 10 Chrome, Firefox and Edge: Select the video from the navigator and in settings, give the video an ID (in my example:“Video”). [image] Now insert following code in the body tag of the page: <script type="text/javascript"> document.getElementById('Video').removeAttribute("data-loop"); </script> Note that the getElementByID(‘Video’) is the ID of the actual video. [image] Let me know if this is a workaround to what you guys want.
