To loop a background video in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Prepare your video:

- Upload the video to your project:
- Go to your Webflow project and navigate to the Designer.
- Open the Assets panel on the left-hand side.
- Click on the "Upload" button and select your video file from your local storage.
- Once uploaded, the video will appear in your project's asset library.
- Add a new section to your page:
- Locate the page in the Designer where you want to include the looping background video.
- Drag and drop a "Section" element to create a container for your video.
- Set the section's background video:
- With the section selected, go to the right-hand side panel and click on the "Background" tab.
- Under the "Color" section, click on the "Video" option.
- From the asset library, select the video file you uploaded.
- You can now customize the video's settings, such as autoplay, muted, and loop.
- Preview and publish your site:
- Before publishing your site, it's recommended to preview it in different breakpoints to ensure it looks good across various devices.
- Once you're satisfied with the video loop, you can go ahead and publish your site for the changes to take effect.
In summary, by uploading the video as an asset, creating a section, and setting the video as the background, you can effectively loop a background video in Webflow. With this looping effect, you can create visually engaging websites that captivate your visitors.
