<p>2018-04-16</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre><code>.video-background {
    background-image: url(&#39;path-to-video.mp4);
}
</code></pre>

<h2 id="see-it-in-action">See it in action</h2>

<p>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&#8217;t see anything :P)</p>

<p>CSS Video Background (Safari Only)</p>

<p>You can read up on all the new features implemented in 11.1 Safari here:</p>
