Hi, looking through the support threads, it appears that background videos are only supported on mobiles when self hosting. Would it be possible to use the plugin Slider Revolution to create a homepage with background video - it seems that if you disable the audio track using the plugin, videos will auto-play on tablets/mobiles. We can then host the videos on YouTube, Vimeo etc.
Also, can you add to your roadmap, support for Vimeo video streams as well as the existing YouTube option?
Is it possible to easily define a row to be only visible on either Desktop or Mobile/Tablet? As I would like to try a slightly quicker solution so we host the Desktop background video on YouTube and self host the Mobile/Tablet version. At least we can save some bandwidth on our server until we can implement the Slider Revolution option.

Hi there,
When audio is disabled from a video, the browser will allow the video to autoplay.
And yes you can use slider revolution plugin to create your background video on your homepage.
As for adding support for vimeo streams, youtube videos on background videos when in mobile, will make a features request to the developer for this.
Hope this clears things up.
Great, thanks for the quick reply Noah.
