Yes, it is possible to add a background video without any controls visible in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Start by uploading your video: Go to the Webflow Designer, select the element where you want to add the background video, and click on the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar. Under the "Background Video" section, click on the "Upload Video" button and select your video file.

  2. Set the video to loop: Once the video is uploaded, you will see the option to loop the video. Enable this option if you want the video to play in a continuous loop.

  3. Disable controls: By default, Webflow displays controls for the background video. To hide these controls, you will need to use custom code. Select your video element, go to the "Custom Attributes" section in the right sidebar, and add the attribute "controls" with a value of "false". This will hide the controls from the video.

  4. Customize your video appearance: You can further customize the appearance of the video by adjusting its size, position, and other properties using the Webflow Designer.

  5. Publish your site: After making the desired changes, don't forget to publish your site for the background video to be visible on the live version.

By following these steps, you can add a background video without any controls visible in Webflow. This can be a great way to enhance the visual appeal of your website and engage your visitors.
