I currently use an animate gif for my landing page background. Therefore I use the “Full Screen Image Parallax“-option in the backend.
Now I want to replace the gif with an mp4 file to reduce the file size (5 MB down to 262 kb). The video works fine in thumbnail view, but not on the actual page.
Thank you for response. I created a Full Screen Video Background with a YouTube link instead. But after updating I only get a blank page without content.
Thank you, but I have the feeling that the page loads longer after embedding the video. In addition, the video does not appear to be looping. It doesn't work on mobile devices either. Sorry.

Is it possible to embed the mp4 file as a loop?
The only problem that the background of the fullscreen image parallax accepts only omages and not video files.
However, as a suggestion, is to upload the video file to youtube and use youtube url as fullscreen video background.
Thank you.

Is your wp admin access still the same. Can you post it here in a private comment?
Thank you.

I cannot find the editor option in the sidebar (screenshot).
Or do you mean the Custom CSS field?
This article explains how to disable the file editor, however you need to enable it:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-disable-theme-and-plugin-editors-from-wordpress-admin-panel/
so
define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false );
Thank you.

Ok, it's done. The editor is aviable now.

Hi,
it may take longer to load than an normal image and you should provide a poster image for mobile devices, it does not play on mobile.
Thank you.

Thanks for your effort, but I'll switch back to the full screen image option. For me, the video option does not work as expected.
I would have liked to be able to upload an mp4 file.
Ok, sounds good, unfortunately the video background works only with youtube videos.
Thank you.
