Elementor full width that’s it it’s done
we’ll choose a pre-designed page so
click the add template icon and I’ll use
this coffee store 1 so clicking insert
here so let’s go ahead and change the
hero section to a nice video background
click the section handle to edit its
settings first let’s go to the advanced
and get rid of the padding here so just
delete this great now under layout
choose mean height and set it to 500
pixels
under style click the video background
icon here and let’s insert a youtube
link you can also insert a self-hosted
video in an mp4 format upload it to your
library and paste the link here just
make sure it doesn’t weigh too much so
let me copy this link here and paste as
you can see it works I have a video
background for my hero section let’s
quickly go over the options available
here you see we have a start and end
time and that’s very useful if you want
to have a looped video let’s start a
video here at 10 seconds now let’s set a
fallback image this is necessary for
devices then don’t preview videos
automatically so just click it and
choose an image next we have background
overlay this is really useful when your
video is too bright or when you want to
personalize your video with your own
touch let’s see how it works first let’s
darken the video a little so the text
will pop out so click the background
type and let’s choose the color black
play with the opacity slider and leave
it around 60% now to personalize the
video look pick a color that suits your
video I’ll pick an orange brownish color
