Is there a workaround for the issue with the object-fit property of the Background Video component not applying until after the video is loaded on mobile devices in Webflow?
Yes, there is a workaround for the issue with the object-fit property of the Background Video component not applying until after the video is loaded on mobile devices in Webflow. You can use custom code to apply the object-fit property to the video element directly.
Here's how you can do it:
- First, go to your Webflow project and navigate to the page where the Background Video component is used.
- Click on the Settings icon in the left sidebar, then select the Custom Code tab.
- In the Head Code section, insert the following code:
<style> .video-background video { object-fit: cover; width: 100% !important; height: 100% !important; } </style>
- Save and publish your project.
This custom code overrides the default styles of the video element inside the Background Video component and applies the object-fit property with a value of "cover".
This ensures that the video will be scaled and cropped to fit the container element properly, regardless of whether the video is loaded or not.
Note: Make sure to replace .video-background
with the class name of the parent element that wraps the Background Video component if you've used a custom class.
This workaround will ensure that the object-fit property is applied correctly on mobile devices in Webflow, even before the video is fully loaded.
