But when done poorly, a video background slows down your site, takes up space, and confuses new visitors. That&#8217;s why we made this guide so that you can avoid all pitfalls, and instead, learn <strong>how to add a WordPress video background<\/strong> the right way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf93 Keep reading to learn about the best practices and steps to add a video background to your WordPress website, all without any special technical knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#999999\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best practices for adding a WordPress video background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Keep file sizes low but resolution high:<\/strong> Nothing bogs down your site&#8217;s performance more than large videos and images; yet, it&#8217;s preferable to maintain resolution during compression. <\/li><li><strong>Don&#8217;t overdo it:<\/strong> Too many videos clutter your interface; only use them to make a point or showcase something relevant. <\/li><li><strong>Include a call to action with additional information:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t leave viewers wanting more, then forget a link leading to further details. <\/li><li><strong>Avoid audio at all costs:<\/strong> It&#8217;s jarring when all people just want to view your website. <\/li><li><strong>If audio is required, don&#8217;t have it on autoplay:<\/strong> Provide an option for users to play audio. <\/li><li><strong>Consider closed captions for videos with audio:<\/strong> Not everyone can listen to your audio, whether that&#8217;s because of their location or hearing impairment.<\/li><li><strong>Host externally:<\/strong> Your site host probably isn&#8217;t designed to serve videos, so choose sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/add-youtube-videos-to-wordpress\/\">Vimeo and YouTube<\/a> to maintain performance, or <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-video-hosting-sites\/\">consider a specialty video hosting site<\/a>. <\/li><li><strong>Stick to the best formats\/resolutions:<\/strong> We&#8217;re talking MP4s only; a minimum of 720p; h264 codec. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember, not all websites need video; sometimes it just makes the interface cluttered, slow, and unfocused. A lawyer, for example, should stick to professional photos rather than corny handshaking videos that are bound to slow down their website. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-dotted\"

WordPress theme that supports video backgrounds\/headers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Various WordPress themes offer built-in header, slider, and full-page media settings; these allow you to upload an image, GIF, or video to take up the entire screen, most often used as a header to your homepage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find themes with video background features, search for \u201cvideo background\u201d on popular marketplaces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/search\/video%20background\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress.org search for \u201cvideo backgrounds\u201d<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/themeforest.net\/category\/wordpress?tags=video%20background\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ThemeForest themes with the \u201cvideo background\u201d tag<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/video-background-wordpress-themes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TemplateMonster themes with video backgrounds<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f Be sure to scan feature lists, or even ask the developer before downloading\/purchasing, to ensure a theme has video background functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/colibri-wp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Colibri WP theme<\/a> offers video backgrounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install and activate the theme<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To activate a video background, install the Colibri WP theme, then go to <strong>Appearance<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Colibri Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Get Started<\/strong>. Here, you can activate the Colibri Page Builder feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image blog-img-std\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-opt-id=2133414461
