GenerateBlocks Container Background Video

[Neil]

Hey Support,
I am using the Vinyasa demo as a base to build a site and wondered if it would be possible to switch the Hero background image to a video.

I can see the settings within the “Container” block to add the background-image url but this won’t accept a video file.

Would this need to be re-created as an Element? If so, any thoughts on allowing a video file in the future?

Thanks in advance.
Neil

Hi there,

its not possible at the moment without some custom coding. You can use the method we provide for adding video bg to the Header Element:

The principles are the same, excerpt you would need to use a custom class on your Container Block and insert the video content in a HTML Block.

Its something we’re reviewing for a future block option.

David,
I have been trying out a few different options and managed to the same section using the default WordPress Cover Block a container for the swirl over the top.

Thanks for you time on this.
