Where is the HTML code for the background video located in Webflow if I don't use Webflow hosting and there is no 'documents' folder in my site?

If you're not using Webflow hosting, your background video file is not hosted by Webflow, and you'll need to locate the video source manually. Webflow does not provide a file manager for self-hosted sites, so the background video link must be hosted externally. Here’s how to find or update the background video’s HTML reference:

1. Inspect the Embed Code in Exported Files

• Open the exported HTML files from Webflow.
• Locate the file where you placed the background video component.
• Search for the video tag by opening the relevant HTML file (usually index.html or a page-specific file).
• Look for a snippet like:
  <video autoplay loop muted playsinline>
• The source URL (<source src="..." type="video/mp4">) should be pointing to an external link or relative file path.

2. Determine Where the Background Video is Hosted

• If no Webflow document folder exists, the background video must be externally hosted.
• Possible locations:
• A CDN or external hosting service (e.g., AWS S3, Cloudflare, Vimeo).
• A relative file path pointing to a folder that needs to be manually uploaded via FTP to your server.

3. Updating the Video Source

• If you need to change the background video URL, manually edit the HTML file in a code editor like VS Code or Sublime Text.
• Update the <source src="URL" with the new hosting location.

Summary

If you’re not using Webflow hosting and there is no documents folder, your background video must be hosted externally. Locate the video tag in the exported HTML file, check the source attribute, and ensure the file is uploaded or linked correctly from an external location.
