How can I make links work on top of a Background Video in Webflow?

To make links work on top of a background video in Webflow, follow the steps below:

1. Add a container element: Start by adding a container element to your Webflow project where you want the background video and links to be placed. This container will hold the video and content.

2. Add the background video: Drag and drop a video element into the container element and upload the video file you want to use as the background. Webflow supports various video formats, such as .mp4 and .webm. Configure the video element settings as needed, like autoplay and loop.

3. Position the container element: Set the position property of the container element to "relative" so that it can serve as a reference point for absolute positioning of the links.

4. Add the links: Inside the container element, add the links you want to display over the video. You can add text links or create custom-designed link elements using Webflow's built-in elements or by creating custom classes.

5. Position the links: Set the position property of the link elements to "absolute" and adjust their positioning using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. This allows you to position the links exactly where you want them on top of the video.

6. Ensure proper z-index: By default, elements in Webflow are stacked in the order they appear in the Navigator panel. To make the links appear on top of the video, you need to ensure a higher z-index value for the links than the video element. Select the links, go to the settings panel, and set a higher z-index value (e.g., 1) for the links.

7. Test and refine: Preview your website or publish it to see the links in action. Adjust the positioning and styling of the links as needed to achieve the desired look and feel.

By following these steps, you can make links work on top of a background video in Webflow, creating an engaging interactive experience for your website visitors.
