    Hi everyone,

    I have an issue (surprise!) where I'd like to add a responsive video background on a fullwidth widget section in the Altitude Pro Theme.

    I am currently attempting to display a 20sec video clip, which I've loaded to the media lbrary, into the first widget section of the home page. I am currently using covervid.js, but maybe there is a better way?

    My video displays on the site but does not become full width until I resize the browser window. And then once resized to a smaller viewport, the video is pushed down revealing white space above and below the video (which I'm assuming is related to aspect ratio.

    I am currently developing on a local server but am more than happy to share the code and describe to you what I have done so far.

    I am trying for the look shown here: http://stefanerickson.github.io/covervid/
    I am currently inspired by the background video implementation of https://www.bigcartel.com/

    Any help and suggestions would be amazing. Thanks in advance.


    The internet isn’t as fast as you think. The secret to keeping up is NO SLEEP. You can do it!

    Share the code please. You can post it in a Gist and then link to it which would be best.
