Hey there!

If you’re looking to add a video background using a Youtube video URL that automatically plays when someone visits your site to a strip, [this isn’t currently supported](https://support.wix.com/en/article/supported-media-file-types-and-file-sizes) . (Thanks for the great request! **#FeatureRequest #WixEditor)**

However, if you would like to have a video background for a strip that doesn’t automatically play once the page loads, you can achieve this using Wix Video 🙂

Here’s how:

**1)** Add a ‘Single Video Player’ and select the ‘Strip’ option

**2)** Inset the Youtube URL at the bottom. Voila!

I hope this helps 🙂
