It is not a surprise for anybody that fullscreen video backgrounds are growing in popularity. Just picture your homepage with a dark background video in contrast with a menu written with lighter text. You get movement instead of a static webpage and you get a really cool design.
More and more websites are using full background videos as a design feature and it works! Forget about uploading your video to the site and use a video hosting service like Youtube. This will solve a lot of pains like slow-loading. Trying to upload an HD video to your site would take a very long time, but with Youtube it is really fast.
With our Youtube Video Background Widget for Adobe Muse, you can choose any free video from Youtube or upload from your own channel. You can select if you want it to me muted, add video controls or even the starting second.

This widget is great. Does what it should do.
Wish there was a option to loop the video. That would be a simple addition, but without it, it’s useless to me unfortunately.

Hi! The widget auto repeats the YT videos as a default setting. Did you try it?
If yes, please, can you try the demo and compare it with the video to see if it loops in your device? (you will need to wait 4 minutes)

IDEA: be sure that your “Start second” setting is lower than the total video length. If it is higher, the video will not be able to loop.
