When using fullpage.js in Webflow, a white background instead of embedded videos can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible causes and their solutions:

CSS conflicts: By default, Webflow gives a white background to the sections. However, fullpage.js may also apply its own styling to the sections, which can override the Webflow settings. To fix this, you can add custom CSS to override the background color and ensure that the video is visible.
z-index stacking order: It's possible that the video is being positioned behind another element due to the z-index stacking order. Check whether any elements on the page have a higher z-index than the video container. To bring the video to the front, you can increase the z-index value of its container.
Video dimensions: Ensure that the dimensions of the video container are set correctly. If the container is too small or has a fixed height, the video may not be visible. Set the dimensions to accommodate the video and make sure the aspect ratio is maintained.
Video embedding method: Verify that you are using the correct method to embed the videos. Webflow provides several options for embedding videos, such as using the native Embed element or integrating with third-party services like YouTube or Vimeo. Ensure that you have followed the correct embedding method and that the video URL or code is valid.
Fullpage.js configuration: Check if the fullpage.js configuration includes any specific settings related to videos. Some settings, such as autoScrolling or scrollOverflow, may interfere with the visibility of embedded videos. Review the fullpage.js documentation and adjust the configuration options accordingly.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to resolve the issue of a white background instead of embedded videos when using fullpage.js in Webflow.
