Funnels and Websites in GoHighLevel: Video Background

How to enable video background in section

Choose the section you want to edit. In the settings panel on the right, switch the background media type to Video and pick your desired video from the media library. Then, click the Preview icon to view the page in your browser.


Video Options


There are 3 options available for video options.

“Fit,” “Fill,” and “Cover” are settings that let you control how a video background appears within a section, row, or column. These choices define how the video is resized or cropped to match the available space. Here’s what each option means:


Fit:

When you choose the “Fit” option for your video background, the video is scaled to fit within the designated area while maintaining its aspect ratio. This means that the entire video will be visible, but there may be empty space (letterboxing) around the video if the aspect ratio of the video doesn’t match the aspect ratio of the container. This option is ideal when you want the entire video to be visible, and you don’t want any part of it to be cropped.


Fill:

“Fill” is an option where the video is scaled to fill the entire designated area, even if it means cropping or stretching the video to do so. This means that the video will cover the entire background area, but it may not maintain its original aspect ratio. Some parts of the video may be cropped out to ensure it covers the entire background space. This option is useful when you want to ensure that the background is completely covered, even if it results in some parts of the video being cut off.


Cover:

The “Cover” option is a balance between “Fit” and “Fill.” In this case, the video is scaled to cover the entire designated area while maintaining its aspect ratio. The video will completely cover the background space, but it will not be stretched or cropped. This ensures that the entire video is visible, and there is no distortion, but there may be some empty space around the video if the aspect ratio doesn’t perfectly match the container’s aspect ratio. “Cover” is a good choice when you want to maximize the use of the background space without distorting the video.


Background Opacity

None:

When “None” is selected or applied, it means there is no background opacity or transparency. The background is fully opaque, completely blocking any content or elements behind it. This option is useful when you want the background to be solid and fully visible, without any elements behind it showing through.

Light Fade:

“Light Fade” introduces a subtle level of transparency to the background. It makes the background slightly see-through, allowing the content or elements behind it to show through, though the background remains largely visible. This effect is often used to create a delicate, soft, or understated background that complements the content without overpowering it.

Half Fade:

“Half Fade” implies that the background is partially transparent, with a 50% opacity level. This means that the content or elements behind the background are clearly visible but still somewhat obscured by the background. “Half Fade” can be used to strike a balance between a prominent background and the content, offering a moderate level of visual separation.

Heavy Fade:

“Heavy Fade” involves a significant level of transparency, with the background being almost see-through. The content or elements behind the background are prominently visible, and the background serves as a subtle backdrop rather than a dominant feature. This option is often chosen when you want to de-emphasize the background and prioritize the content or elements it overlays.


Video Loop

Enabling the video loop toggle causes the background video to play continuously, restarting automatically once it finishes, creating a smooth and immersive effect.

Disabling the toggle means the video will play only once and stop at the end, which works well for short intros or non-repetitive content.
