Hey guys...

i am trying to put an html5 vídeo in my background with the properties:

width = 100% and height = 600px

but it seems that the vídeo window does not streches completely for the width..it looks like if i increase the height it does streches to width = 100% ............. i am using manual values and is set to modify both width/height!!!

Is there a way to put a vídeo in a group of elements that covers the width at 100% and 600px height?

Thanks!

How would something like this affect the loading speed of the website? Would the loading speed be poor or is that not a factor nowadays with faster internet speeds.

video {
  object-fit: fill;
}

Try to look for solutions on the Web - CSS, eventually Javascript; if you find a good one and don't know how to apply it, post it here maybe we can help

OK..so it seems that Microsoft Edge only supports the "object-fit" with the "img" property!

Thanks :)

If you don't find - Microsoft Edge is used by 3% of users, with IE it's 6,5% (and I think most of those are not the kind of users for whom the background video fully stretched matters)

Hello, I have uploaded an html5 video to my Index / Home page, which I want to autostart as soon as the page loads, then play once and stop. 
This works only of I click on the HOME link, but not when the website first loads...

I haven't yet redirericted my domain name, so the temporary website address is:

http://www.s163451625.websitehome.co.uk/Brendan/ 

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks...

When I open the page, I see the background video playing once. I think it depends on the connection speed. Also, try Ctrl+F5 to make sure there's nothing in cache that compromises the display.

Thank-you for getting back to me. Sorry for my late reply, but I have only just seen your post as I didn't get a notification.

I still have the same problem - I have now realised it does not work as it should when using Google Chrome, but the video loads properly with Firefox...

Google Chrome has some other discrepancies, too. They still have to go a long way to be compatible to the rest of the world.
Even the 'old' safari and the seamonkey work correctly.
But the opera also does not work. I can't say anything about Edge, because i'll never use that browser.

Anyway, I would recommend not to use that moving display.Because the initial load time -without seing anything useful- may be too long. The user might get upset and instantly click away - and never come back.
Also it consumes data, which could be a problem with a contingent connection amount.
