Site Origin Hero Background Video

I’ve searched your forums, but its still unclear to me if you can in fact have a looping video streamed from YouTube.
Some of the threads were old, eluding to a future update that i believe should be an option now (and appears it is using the hero addon).

When i input the url, the video shows up actual size (vs full width/height) in the upper left corner, even though the fullwidth/cover settings are checked. It does not autoplay either, and therefore, wouldn’t know if it loops. I can’t actually click on the play button because its on a lower level div.

Can you please confirm if and how to make it happen. This could be a deal breaker for my client…after choosing a theme that said it was possible. (ESTATIK, Realtor Theme).
Thank you,
K

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Kmhdesign,

    Unfortunately, this isn’t possible without a fair amount of custom coding. This is beyond the scope of what we can help you with on our forums, but you could hire a developer to implement this for you. Another option would be to host the video locally as locally hosted videos are automatially looped.

    We recommend using Codeable. You’ll be able to hire someone at an hourly rate to do this work for you.

    Kind regards,
    Alex
