It says premise, I want to show you
an alternative homepage banner isn't exactly a banner,
It's more of a video.
So you're gonna have a video background
as opposed to the traditional background image.
So it's quite simple.
This is the video I would like to add to the background.
It's a made for myself,
basically compulsion of self,
my travels around the wall.
So I'm gonna go ahead and simply
grab this link right here.
And we're going to edit this section.
Now because of the negative margins,
you may not be able to see
the edit section button up here.
Or what you want to do is to simply use the navigator.
Okay, so come down here,
click on navigate TO click on section,
and now you can edit the section.
So again, the navigates
all our button being very, very useful.
We're going to go now to the layout style rather.
And then right here you have background.
We're gonna go with the video.
You click on video and are in here.
I'm going to paste the link to the YouTube video.
But you can also paste the link to from Vimeo as well.
And then you can choose the start time, the end time.
You can choose to play once or
mobile enabled to privacy mode.
If you're gonna go with
the background video, I would highly,
highly recommend that you choose a background fall back.
So for the background fall back,
I'm simply going to use the same image.
The reason is because it's a video,
sometimes it may not play and because it's from YouTube,
maybe YouTube as an issue or for one reason or the other,
the video doesn't play.
Elemental would use the background as a fallback options.
I'm gonna go ahead now and update.
Let's take a look at our page.
Coming in here, refresh the page.
And there you go.
So now you can see we have the background video.
Now play an end.
Of course, I'm not going to deny that
the videos aren't more powerful than an image.
Obviously, videos are a lot more interesting.
But please note that videos
do have sets in drawback certain disadvantages,
okay, it may slow down your website.
So if you're gonna use a video,
please try to make sure that the video isn't that long,
maximum maybe ten seconds,
because the longer the video is,
the longitude takes load
and that will slow down your website.
So please make the videos very, very, very short.
Make sure you add
a background image as a fall back shrewd
in case the video doesn't load.
But that's the alternative for your homepage.
But I thank you for watching and of course I
will see you in the next class.
