Instead of a static image, is there a way to have a looped video(mp4 or other format) the background on the Service Portal index page?

I think what Jeremy was trying to get at is that there is no video property for background like there is image. 

background-image: yes

background-video: no

However, it isn't a lost cause. There are a few options.

  • Embed a video and use css positioning to give the illusion of a background
  • Use video tag and use css positioning to give the illusion of a background
  • Use a looping giphy which is actually a moving image so just use the background-image property and it is a background
  • Or like in the example site you posted the url for it looks like they are using a carousel (flexSlider) which is the same as the first two listed

Here is an example of a giphy

Of course hopefully you would do a better job at making the giphy than I did. But it was just for example. 🙂

hi,

 

 

You can create a new widget and inside the HTML part for the widget, you can include the piece of code which pulls in the content from youtube.

 

For example if you want to include a video from youtube, you can use the following code inside the widget HTML (this code will be provided the content hosting service, in this case it is youtube).

 

 

 

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K7niFZmGawM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Mark correct if it is helpful.
