Set youtube video on background
I found good solution here.
.video-background {
background: #000;
position: fixed;
top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0;
z-index: -99;
}
.video-foreground,
.video-background iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
pointer-events: none;
}
Using Youtube API + CSS, we can build full screen youtube video background.
HTML Markup:
<div class="page">
<div class="video-bg">
<div id="videoPlayer" data-videoid="b0r_dH7jfOM"></div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<h1>Video Player background</h1>
<h3>Full screen youtube video player in background.</h3>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.page {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.page .video-bg {
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;/* Aspect ratio */
position: absolute;
}
.page .video-bg iframe {
border: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.page .content {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
Add Youtube API: https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api
JS:
jQuery(function () {
// Youtube player
window.videoPlayer;
window.onYouTubeIframeAPIReady = function () {
var videoPlayerId = $('#videoPlayer').attr('data-videoid');
window.videoPlayer = new YT.Player('videoPlayer', {
height: '1080',
width: '1920',
videoId: videoPlayerId,
playerVars: {
'controls': 0,
'autoplay': 1,
'mute': 1,
'loop': 1,
'showinfo': 0,
'modestbranding': 1
},
events: {
'onReady': onVideoPlayerReady,
'onStateChange': onVideoPlayerReady
}
});
}
function onVideoPlayerReady(event) {
videoPlayer.playVideo();
}
});
OH HI EVERYONE, here is a reusable simple jQuery plugin I made based on YouTube Embed API. It's also super simple to use. You can see it in action here.
<div id="ytbg" data-youtube="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEpEeyqGlxA"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$('[data-youtube]').youtube_background();
});
</script>

<iframe frameborder="0" height="100%" width="100%"
src="https://youtube.com/embed/ID?autoplay=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&autohide=1">
