Beta Unlocked: Video Background on Mobile!

@jarbasj the feature will be public very soon :slight_smile:

love love love it! We have been waiting a long time for this!!

FINALLY!!! I have clients who have video backgrounds and they always wonder why it’s not available. Thank you!

:slight_smile:

Waaahhhh!!! This really made me leaping with joy! Thank you Wix team! I am so overwhelmed with joy! Hahahaha! Whooohooo! God bless you guys!

I tested the background video on mobile with my iPhone on battery saver mode and it doesn’t play. When on regular mode it does play. On battery saver mode it does reduce background activity like downloads, but is there a way for Wix to fix this? A lot of iPhone users use battery saver mode, so it would be nice if they can still see the video playing in the background, without having to turn off battery saver mode. If there isn’t a way to fix this, I suggest everyone using this feature to make sure that their first frame looks nice.

Here is a link to my website for those of you who want to see it.

This is out of Wix control and Safari decide whether to play it or not in this mode.

@idan-cohen That makes sense. Still a very cool feature! Thank you!

I am in total heaven and so are my clients. I have added the feature to all of my clients sites and they are loving it! Thank you Idan!!!

I just tried it and it’s saying ‘unavailable’ on mobile

Can you please put here a screen shot?

@idan-cohen
Am I missing something??

@info52 you selected the strip but clicked on the background icon of the page. To enable the video background for the strip you need to click on the background icon of the strip

Thanks for the speedy response. I see it now. Awesome!!

How long do you think before we can play videos on page backgrounds on mobile please?

You can now. You need to manage the settings of the background in the mobile editor.

Okay… Could you help me a little then please? When I go to the mobile editor to try to set the ‘page’ background as video - it is greyed out

Click on the background itself and select the square icon. You’ll see the switch button that enables video play on mobile.

Thanks! I know where the issue lies now then - I’m building a new site on a non-premium account so it’s not giving me the option. I’m thinking this is why I cannot find it. Thank you!!
