Need to embed full screen video

[sorengen]

Hi All, I have a client that would like video to fit full screen and I'm wondering how I would go about making this happen? I am currently using Designer Pro X (v. 17). I've looked at YouTube and Vimeo... I did not see a solution there. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Some time back I build a test/demo for video cover browser backgrounds and a few variations: https://initiostar.co.uk/demo/Video/

Here is a real-world example: https://hypnosis-retreat.co.uk.

The choice of background video is the key for this effect to work across variants.

Demo XAR attached.

Oh WOW, this is so fantastic! I really appreciate you sharing this with me, thank you! This is perfect! I will keep this in my Xara 'tool belt' for sure! I'm very grateful!

Gary,
You may like to revisit your link hypnosis retreat as for me it's just a static image in Firefox. Might be a setting I have but I can't find one.
Works as expected in Chrome & Edge.

Hi Egg,

There is a full stop at the end of the posted link which stops it working in Firefox - apologies - reminder to self to check it more carefully!

Thanks,

Gary

Also noticed that simulating mobile phones in Chrome and Edge by minimizing the browser only show a still image.
