But you can read more about that here: [https://howto-wordpress-tips.com/video-header-wordpress-tutorial/](https://howto-wordpress-tips.com/video-header-wordpress-tutorial/) * However, having a video for the Big Title Section is an option of Hestia PRO: You can read more about this at the following documentation: [https://docs.themeisle.com/article/921-big-title-background-options-in-hestia-pro](https://docs.themeisle.com/article/921-big-title-background-options-in-hestia-pro) * I hope this was helpful.

However there is an ugly grey area that shows up on PC. I have to remove the header from the “big title section” or it replaces the video. * I’d love to have the video actually take up that grey area, especially where the menu is possible. * Thank you for your help! – Mike * [danamv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danamv/) * (@danamv) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-header-banner/#post-14189024) * Hi [@calimer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calimer/), * I am happy that you have managed to solve this problem! * I have checked your site, but I don’t see any grey area, can you please provide us with a screenshot pointing out the issue? * Thank you! * Thread Starter [calimer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calimer/) * (@calimer) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-header-banner/#post-14189845) * [@danamv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danamv/) I ended up using .body background-color to fill in the grey area with black.

I have checked on Firefox– PC, but I think that the video already takes up that area.
