Is it possible to format a video in Webflow to fill the window completely and cover the background video?
Yes, it is possible to format a video in Webflow to fill the window completely and cover the background video. This can be achieved by following these steps:
Insert a video element: In the Webflow Designer, drag and drop a video element onto your canvas or choose the appropriate container where you want your video to be displayed.
Set the video element to full screen: With the video element selected, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side. Under the "Position" section, select "Fixed" from the "Position" dropdown menu. This will ensure that the video stays fixed in the viewport.
Adjust the video size: Still in the settings panel, scroll down to the "Size" section. Here, you can set the width, height, and aspect ratio of the video. To make the video fill the entire window, you can set the width to 100vw (viewport width) and the height to 100vh (viewport height). This will ensure that the video spans the entire screen.
Arrange the video layer: If you have a background video or image behind the video element, ensure that the video element is positioned correctly in the layer hierarchy. To make the video element appear on top of the background content, you can increase the z-index of the video element. In the settings panel, locate the "Position" section and input a higher numerical value for the "Z-Index" property.
Customize additional video settings: You can also customize other settings for the video, such as autoplay, loop, or mute. These options are available in the settings panel under the "Properties" section.
After following these steps, your video should fill the window completely and cover the background video. Remember to preview your site to see how it looks in the actual browser.
