Video background

You should upload the file if it’s your own at the page level. Can you share a link to the editor?its always better to do this when you ask for help.

Suggestions for places to host it? Sorry, new at this.

@emmanuel

If you click on static file you can upload a file.

I tried that as well and it won’t play. Could it be that the file is too large? Other ideas? I will try again with an upload.

You tried in run mode right?

I just uploaded again and am looking at it in the preview window. Nothing–just a black background.

You’re pointing to the live version, isn’t it dev that you should look at?

Sorry yeah: https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=index&id=zoba&tab=tabs-1

Well the file wasn’t uploaded. Are you sure

  1. it’s a legit file
  2. it’s a video
  3. it’s below 50mb

Can you try with one file there http://www.coverr.co/

Got it to go! It was a sizing issue with my vid export. Thanks so much @emmanuel!

I know this is an old post, but if anyone wants a good way to shrink their videos, this is what I do. I’m not sure if Vimeo allows you to do this with a free account, but I upload my video to vimeo, then in the video manager, I download the file after it has been processed through their compression. The video comes back considerably smaller, and unlike YouTube, the video is in HD. I have tried this on Youtube and I get back a smaller resolution.

Create an HTML element. Use this HTML:

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Then you simply place other elements over the HTML element.

@emmanuel… .first of all… congratulation for your Bubble…

I started developed my first app using it… my doubt about this topic is, please.

1st) I read everything above… and my problem of video was it was too big 18mb… I reduced it for 6mb and it is working fine in desktop/notebook https://virtualcrm.bubbleapps.io/version-test?debug_mode=true
