    Hi Bill,

    YouTube videos work for the hero video background. Could you please send me an export for this widget? To do this open up the page with the widget, and click prebuilt. Then click import / export and then click download. Please upload the export to a 3rd party file hosting site such as teknik.io.

    Hi Bill,

    What you have should work, but for some reason, it’s not autoplaying. I’ll log this as a bug and it should hopefully be fixed in the next version. In the meantime, your best bet is to host a file locally.
