video backgrounds

You can. There is even a video tutorial on YT channel

Ah awesome thanks. In webflow there's a "module" for it. I didn't spot the module in webstudio

the module does nothing but basically positioning a video behind content in a div

Yeah but it does allow for the uploading of media and the background positioning, height, auto-start, loop video, etc settings all to be set in the module. This makes it easier to do. I can do this manually but I'm not familiar with GUI web development just yet. My work background is 20+ years of asp.net c# development, and now js frameworks with API, code only development basically.

auto start etc is vimeo player options we provide too

positioning is certainly possible via style panel

backgrond video is really just a wrapper around are regular element positioned as a backgrond element

we have a tutorial for that

we have a plan for simplifying this type of stuff using commands

also marketplace will be probably helpful too

You can also get a template here. -

Would be nice if there was a dedicated "video" component. Which would allow us to upload a video file or use a url instead of having to use vimeo.
