How can I prevent a background video from looping in Webflow?

To prevent a background video from looping in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the section or element that contains the background video. This can be a div block or a section element.

  2. In the Styles panel on the right side, click on the Settings icon (gear icon) to access the Background Settings.

  3. Under the Background Video section, you will find an option called "Loop". By default, this option is selected, which means the video will loop indefinitely.

  4. To prevent the video from looping, simply uncheck the "Loop" option.

  5. Once you uncheck the "Loop" option, the background video will play once and then stop at the end, rather than repeating.

  6. Preview your site to ensure that the video is not looping.

  7. Publish your site to make the changes visible on your live website.

By following these steps, you can easily prevent a background video from looping in Webflow. This is useful if you want the video to play only once and not repetitively.

Note: Keep in mind that this method will only work for background videos added through Webflow. If you are embedding an external video service like YouTube or Vimeo, you may need to refer to the documentation or options provided by those services to disable looping.
