To achieve autoplay, loop, and mute for a background video element on Safari and iPhones in Webflow without embedding the video, you can use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here's how you can do it:
1. Add a video element:
- Drag and drop a video element onto your Webflow canvas where you want the background video to appear.
- Upload your video file to the assets panel and select it as the source for the video element.
2. Set up the video element:
- Select the video element and navigate to the settings panel on the right.
- Under the Video section, enable the "Autoplay" option.
3. Apply custom code:
- Go to the Webflow Designer and click on the "Site Settings" gear icon in the top-right corner.
- In the Site Settings panel, select the "Custom Code" tab.
- In the "Head Code" section, add the following HTML code:
```html
```
This CSS code ensures that the video fills the background.
- In the "Before
" section, add the following JavaScript code:
```javascript
```
This script targets the video element, mutes it, and enables looping.
4. Apply class to the video element:
- Give your video element a class name (e.g., "video-bg") in the element settings panel on the right.
5. Adjust the z-index:
- To make sure the video appears as a background, set a higher z-index value for the elements that should be displayed on top of it.
With these steps, your background video element will autoplay, loop, and be muted on Safari and iPhones in Webflow without embedding the video. Make sure to test it on various devices and browsers to ensure compatibility.
