My youtube background video shows the spinning circle before finally loading video into the background. Your demos have no lag time whatsoever. Any advice on how to get rid of this lag time?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about. This is not the site I'm working on but they have the same issue. The background video shows a loading circle before playing. How do I get rid of this? If there's no solution for this, what other suggestions do you have for playing seamless background video? Quality obviously matters but is there a sweet spot in what I'm looking for for the size files I'd be using so that it doesn't slow down the performance of our website? If using the MP4 & webm formats do I need to upload to my own site or is there somewhere else I can upload to in order to avoid bogging down my site?
Sorry. Clearly the way I'm posing this question is confusing the issue.
I'll ask it another way. How do I make the youtube video lag (spinning loading circle) go away? An example of what I'm talking about can be seen on the rabcup website. Salient offers the option to include a youtube link instead of the webm & mp4 upload. When the salient demo shows how to use the youtube link, they don't have the spinning circle showing in their background. How did they avoid this?
The video is already at a very low resolution but please tell me what the optimal resolution/file size is for this theme for the Youtube Video URL, the WebM file & the MP4 file so I can make sure I'm meeting your criteria.

Hey Again,
Could be a delay on Youtube side. Did you try it on another browser ?.

Hey Again,
The Video Backgrounds are to be used as a Design Element in Salient therefore your requests are not possible at the moment.

Hey Again,
The Spinner is showing on that site as well : http://prntscr.com/rvnma7 . Try using a Low Resolution Video.

Thanks!
Hey Again,
It should not be bigger than 3 mb . Try using https://gtmetrix.com and check the Waterfall Tab to see which files are causing the delay .
