How to create a background video | HTML & CSS tutorial

If this doesn't work on iOS, try adding the 'playsinline' attribute.

While background-images are really easy, there is no simple way to do a background video. In this video I explore how to set up a background video with HTML and CSS, including a few different tricks on positioning it.

One thing to note is, while these are really trendy, be careful with them. They aren't exactly considered best practice. Auto-playing videos are generally seen as something to be avoided, and it can add a ton of weight to your site. But that said, it is good to know how to do it :)
