Hi

The theme doesn't support video backgrounds, but you should be able to add a full width video background using an add on from the marketplace, if you use Home V2 (or one of the other V2 page types).

In our documentation, on page 9, you will find the relevant instructions for adding a slider, which gives you the page types and area you should use for a background video.

HOW TO USE A SLIDER INSTEAD OF A BANNER IMAGE

As of Juniper v 1.0.4, we have included page templates to accommodate a slider instead of a banner image. These page templates are Full V2, Home V2, Left Sidebar V2 and Right Sidebar V2.

To add a slider to a page, you must first choose one of these page templates. While on the page in edit mode, click on the gear icon at the top left of the menu. Click on "Design" then click "Expand" under Page Template and choose one of the templates listed above. Click "Save Changes".

Then in edit mode, add your slider block to the empty "Banner Slider" area.
We have tested the default concrete5 Image Slider block in this area, but we cannot comment on other marketplace sliders in regards to whether they will work with the Juniper theme.

I haven't tried adding video backgrounds to this theme, but there is a link here that suggests some options in concrete5:

And you may find searching addons using the word video may help you find one that you can use.

I can't see any reason why your video background should not go full width in that area, but if you would like us to look at it, please send the link. This thread is public, so if you want to send your link privately, please pm us or email contact@pilipalawebdesign.com.

Thanks,

Jennifer
