Can I have a background video?

You can set up a YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, or Wistia video to play silently in the background of your form.

  1. Click "Theme & Appearance" at the top of the left sidebar (you must have at least one question on the form to see this button).
  2. Select UI Elements → Background.
  3. Paste your video URL into the field below "Background Video." You can also add URL parameters from the video hosting site that change the behavior of your video, such as autoplay.
  4. (Optional) Choose whether you want to cover the entire form background with the video, or if you prefer the entire video to be visible instead.
  5. (Optional) Add blur to the video and/or a semi-transparent overlay color in the "Overlay" settings at the bottom.

If you are adding an overlay color, you can control its transparency using the slider below the hue while selecting the color.

To remove your background video, simply delete the video URL.
