I am trying to add a background video capability to my website. I do not want it to be clicked. I need it to run automatically, and then loop back to the start on completion. There seem to be a number of JQuery library attempts do so (OKVideo, Vide, BigVideo), but I haven't been able to get any to work. The simpler the better, and if you have a preference I'd love to hear it. Thanks as always.
So we actually get this feature request a lot and have something in the works that would probably solve this issue in the near future. In the meantime, there is an undocumented ?background=1 query string option that you can append to your embed url to achieve what you're trying to do.
