How can I make a background video in Webflow play only once?

To make a background video in Webflow play only once, you can follow these steps:

1. Add a video element to your Webflow page by dragging and dropping the Video element from the Elements panel onto your canvas.

2. In the Video settings panel (on the right-hand side of the Designer), click on "Select video" to upload or select the video you want to use as the background.

3. By default, the video will be set to play "Forever." To change this, you'll need to add some custom code.

4. Click on the Settings tab in the top-right corner of the Designer, and then select "Custom code."

5. In the Custom code panel, click on the "Head" tab to add code to the head section of your site.

6. Now, you need to add the following CSS code to the head section within script tags:

```css

```

7. This CSS code will ensure that the video fills the entire background of its container.

8. Next, you'll need to add another custom code to stop the video from looping. Click on the "Before / Body end tag" tab in the Custom code panel, and add the following JavaScript code within script tags:

```javascript

```

9. This JavaScript code adds an event listener to the video element, which will pause the video when it reaches the end.

10. Once you've added both the CSS and JavaScript code, click "Save changes" to apply the changes to your site.

With these steps, the background video in Webflow will play only once and then pause when it reaches the end. Remember to replace the 'video' selector with the class or ID that targets your specific video element if you have added any additional classes or custom attributes to it.
