CSS Video Backgrounds
2018-04-16
With the release of Safari 11.1 on macOS and Safari on iOS 11.3, developers now have the ability to support background videos (mp4 support only - at the time of this article) with pure CSS.
Example:
.video-background {
background-image: url('path-to-video.mp4);
}
See it in action
Check out the very basic CodePen I created below to see it live (make sure you view it in latest Safari or else you won’t see anything :P)
