Back Ground Video Not Working

[jwchameleoncorp]

Hello,

I’m trying to display video for the background on my home page. However, after setting it up, and clearing the cache, no video displays. Here’s a video of what I’m doing – http://somup.com/cDQTqHCEJ

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Do you have somehow js errors in chrome console ?

If you de-activate all plugins except Visual Composer and K-elements this continue to happens ?

If you de-activate child theme this continue to happens ?

Cheers

Hi @jwchameleoncorp

Your issue appears to be because you’re pressing share on YouTube to get the URL of the video which uses their own shortening service. You require the full youtube.com url for this to work. You can grab this from your address bar in your browser.

For example the full url for video “The Weeknd – Starboy ft. Daft Punk” is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34Na4j8AVgA

If I press share I get

https://youtu.be/34Na4j8AVgA

I have tested this on a local and a live install for you and found that the first link will work, the second will not.

Hope this helps,

Kieran.
