Hello, thaks for a great tutorial. Do zou maybe know how to bee able to see main meny in mobile version of store, which is hidden behind video when I entered the code given. Thank you!
This is a awesome tutorial, thank you so much for making it! I just have a few questions. 1, is there a way for me to change the aspect ratio of the video background? I prefer a wider aspect ratio, but the video background is cropping my video on the sides. 2, is there a way for me to completely remove the caption in the middle? I deleted all the text, but there is still a semi-clear white box. Any help would be greatly appriciated!
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with BigCommerce. Your best bet would be to find a BigCommerce theme with a video banner built in. Either that or you could try and search for something along the lines of "BigCommerce Video Banner" or "BigCommerce video hero banner". Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video, I've added it to craft theme and while it works very well on the website, it doesn't show up well on mobile. Any ideas on what to do?
Hi, can someone help me? I used the code but when i am at the mobile webshop, the menu bar is underneath the background video. How can i fix that if i click on the menu button the menu comes over the background video?
