To add audio or sound to a background video in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your audio file: Before adding the audio to the background video, make sure you have an audio file in the desired format (e.g. MP3, WAV) that you want to use. You can use audio-editing software to trim or adjust the audio file to meet your requirements.

  2. Upload your video and audio files: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Assets panel and upload both your background video file and the audio file. Make sure both files are uploaded and ready to use.

  3. Create a new section: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Navigator panel and create a new section where you want to add the background video.

  4. Add a video element: Inside the newly created section, drag and drop a Video element from the Add panel onto the canvas. Webflow will automatically create a DIV block to contain the video element.

  5. Set the video source: With the Video element selected, go to the Settings panel. In the Video Source field, click the dropdown and select the background video file you uploaded in step 2.

  6. Add and adjust the audio: While the Video element is still selected, go to the Settings panel and scroll down to the Audio section. Click the Add Audio button and select the audio file you uploaded in step 2. Adjust the volume to your desired level using the Volume slider.

  7. Fine-tune the settings: You can further customize the video playback settings in the Video section of the Settings panel. For example, you can set it to loop, autoplay, or choose a specific poster image.

  8. Preview and publish: It's important to preview your changes to make sure the video and audio are playing as expected. You can do this by clicking the Preview button at the top right of the Webflow Designer. If everything looks good, you can publish your site for the changes to be live.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate audio or sound into a background video in Webflow. Enjoy enhancing your website with this engaging combination!
