Adding video background to layout grid

Hello,

When I try to add a video bg to layout grid, it goes to pixaby where every video says missing.
Is there a way to use my own video from my hard drive?

I use an extension from RZ (Background Video). I don't know if you can still get it because RZ passed away recently. Works great though.

It looks like pixabay has disable this functionality :(

You can manually enter the path of the local video in the input field.
Or better:
- upload the video to your website.
- enter the URL in the input field: http://www.yourwebsite.comfilename.mp4
in that case, the video will not be uploaded every-time you publish the page.

Thanks Pablo.

Your idea about uploading the video seems to be the way to go.
