Hi there,

Can you provide a link to your site? I'll check it out, but please keep in mind that this may be something considered to be a customization.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,
I tried to change my MP4 vdeo background to a youtube version as explaned but it doesn't work.

//////////////////
//VIDEO BACKGROUND -- background
//////////////////
if (!headerImage.length >= 1 ) {
headerImages.background({
source: {
poster: "images/bridge.jpg",
video: "//www.youtube.com/embed/Ukabkwp8fuA"

Hi there,

YouTube support was not included because I personally think it looks ugly... but you can try it out by opening custom.js and changing the following on lines 66-76 from this...

//////////////////
//VIDEO BACKGROUND -- background
//////////////////
if (!headerImage.length >= 1 ) {
	headerImages.background({
		source: {
			poster: "images/bridge.jpg",
			mp4: 	"videos/magic-cloth-demo.mp4"
		}
	});
}

...to this...

//////////////////
//VIDEO BACKGROUND -- background
//////////////////
if (!headerImage.length >= 1 ) {
	headerImages.background({
		source: {
			poster: "images/bridge.jpg",
			video: "//www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID"
		}
	});
}

...note the change from "mp4" to "video". You'll also want to replce VIDEO_ID with the ID you want to use.

Please keep in mind YouTube background support has not been tested with this theme.

Best,

Christopher

Hey. Great theme man. I am sorry I wasn't able to buy the wordpress theme. But wanted it so bad so bought the html one. Thinking I can edit it. :(

I only wanted to know how to embed youtube video in the place of the background video.
That is removing the locally put video files.
