 * I have set a self hosted video as my background video on a section (I am using
   elementor) however the video is not showing on any device or browser and cannot
   figure out why. The video will only show when I am logged in to wordpress. Any
   help would be really appreciated.

 * Since the feature in question is built with the Elementor plugin, please post
   your question in the Elementor plugin’s own support forum, so the plugin’s authors
   and user community can see and help you out.

 * Hi [@maxfrederick2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxfrederick2/)
 * If you see the [Chrome DevTools Console](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/)
   output for you webpage, you can see an JavaScript error. Take a look and see 
   if this could be the problem.
 * I recommend asking in the [Elementor forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/elementor/?view=all),
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
 * Have a nice day
