Background Video

Create responsive video or slideshow embeds based on the width of the parent by creating an intrinsic ratio that scales on any device.

How to use?

Add a .js-bg-video class in a parent element with data-hs-bgv-type and data-hs-bgv-id data attributes.

Each element must have at least a data-hs-bgv-type and data-hs-bgv-id attribute in order for the embed to be created automatically.

Copy-paste the stylesheet <link> into your <head> to load the CSS.

            
              <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../assets/vendor/hs-bg-video/hs-bg-video.css">

Copy-paste the following <script>s near the end of your pages under JS Implementing Plugins to enable them.

            
              <script src="../../assets/vendor/hs-bg-video/hs-bg-video.js"></script>
              <script src="../../assets/vendor/hs-bg-video/vendor/player.min.js"></script>

Copy-paste the following <script> near the end of your pages under JS Space to enable it.

            
              <script src="../../assets/js/helpers/hs.bg-video.js"></script>

Copy-paste the init function under JS Plugins Init., before the closing </body> tag, to enable it.

            
              <script>
                $(document).on('ready', function () {
                  // initialization of video on background
                  $.HSCore.helpers.HSBgVideo.init('.js-bg-video');
                });
              </script>

Basic example 

            
              <div class="position-relative height-400">
                <div class="js-bg-video position-absolute w-100 h-100"
                     data-hs-bgv-type="youtube"
                     data-hs-bgv-id="0qisGSwZym4"
                     data-hs-bgv-loop="true">
