 * Hi,
 * You are adding a vimeo video in the background, Currently it only supports mp4
   video format. Try uploading the video on your website and then add it in background
   video. 
   Thanks

 * Hello,
 * I can still see z-index:-100 opening the Console in Elements. The !important 
   attribute is not applied even if it is set in the Custom CSS.
