Is there a possibility to add a rolling video to the background of the home page ? This is so that i can make it more user friendly. 2. Open for recommendations on how to improve the overall look, feel and vibe of the website please. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fvisual-effects%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-effects/#post-17347978) * > Is there a possibility to add a rolling video to the background of the home > page ? This is so that i can make it more user friendly. * Your site is using the Zeever theme and the Gutenverse plugging. * The “Hero” section of your homepage is a Gutenverse “Section” block, which supports background video already. * So you don’t need to install any plugin at all and you can ignore that long-winded ChatGTP response. Just change the “Section” blocks’ background from image to video, and provide your video URL. * If you have any difficulty doing this, you may post in the Gutenverse plugin’s own support forum so its developers and user community can help you: * **[https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenverse/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenverse/)** * Good luck! * [iamrizwankhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamrizwankhan/) * (@iamrizwankhan) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-effects/#post-17349542) * Absolutely, it’s possible to add a rolling video to the background of the home page for a more dynamic user experience. As for overall improvements, could you share more details on your preferred aesthetics or theme? This would help tailor recommendations to your vision. * Thread Starter [madshaddad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madshaddad/) * (@madshaddad) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-effects/#post-17352540) * [@gappiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) – Thank you for this. Does the maximum 2MB apply to only photos or videos too? I am assume i have to change the background and instead of choosing an image i have to drop the video? [@iamrizwankhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iamrizwankhan/) – Thank you! Looking for a flawless, professional sporty look. * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-effects/#post-17352876) * > Does the maximum 2MB apply to only photos or videos too? * — If you’re seeing a **2MB** upload limit, that’s from your hosting provider, not WordPress. This is a PHP limit, and applies to all files you upload. * — Check out the article below for various ways you can increase this limit. I’ll recommend you first take a quick glance at all the options to see which one is most accessible to you: * [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-wordpress/) * **A warning though:** simply because you can change the upload size does not mean you should use a Hollywood-quality video with a huge file size for the background: it would take forever to load and may never finish loading until the user clicks away, defeating the purpose. * > I am assume i have to change the background and instead of choosing an image > i have to drop the video? * The Gutenverse plugin has 3 options for the background: image, color (gradient), or video. To use a video background, you have to change the BACKGROUND TYPE to Video. * But you can also add a “fallback image” to the video background. This fallback images may be displayed: * — Immediately while the video is being fetched, or — If the video cannot be displayed at all * ![](https://i0.wp.com/s3.amazonaws.com/i.snag.gy/eQgC3p.jpg?ssl=1) * Thread Starter [madshaddad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madshaddad/) * (@madshaddad) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-effects/#post-17367945) * Thank you for your help – the video icon isnt showing when i go to the section. * ![](https://wordpress.org/4e5772a6-b1d4-4500-80ac-d4282ca348c2) * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-effects/#post-17368087) * Please provide a screenshot so I’ll know we’re talking about the same thing.
