What is the proper way to make the section with the Background video class stick for a longer time in Webflow? Should I add a sticky position to the background video or the section it is in, and why isn't it working on mobile view?

To make a section with a background video stick for a longer time in Webflow, you need to add a sticky position to the section itself, not the background video.

Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Select the section that contains the background video.
2. Go to the Styles panel and click on the "+" button next to the Position property to add a new position value.
3. Choose "sticky" from the dropdown menu for the position property.
4. Set the desired top, left, right, or bottom values to determine where the section should stick on the page.
5. Adjust the z-index property if necessary to ensure that the section appears above other elements on the page.

Regarding your question about why it might not be working on mobile view, there could be a few reasons for this. One possibility is that the sticky position property is not supported on some mobile devices or browsers. To check if this is the case, you can try viewing your website on different mobile devices and browsers to see if the sticky section behaves as expected.

Another reason could be that there might be conflicting styles or interactions on the section or its parent elements that are preventing the sticky behavior from working correctly. It's important to review and resolve any conflicting styles or interactions in your design.

Additionally, some mobile browsers have limitations on autoplaying videos to prevent excessive data usage or to improve user experience. This means that background videos may not autoplay on mobile devices, which could affect the sticky behavior.

To overcome this limitation, you can consider using interactions to trigger the video to play when the section becomes visible on the viewport or provide a play button for the user to manually play the video.

In conclusion, to make a section with a background video stick for a longer time in Webflow, apply a sticky position to the section itself. However, be mindful of potential limitations with sticky positioning on certain mobile devices or browsers, conflicting styles or interactions, and autoplay restrictions on mobile devices.
