how to insert a video in a banner

To insert a video in a banner, you can use HTML5 video tag with autoplay attribute. Here's an example code for that in HTML:

html
Copy code
<div class="banner"> <video src="path/to/video.mp4" autoplay muted loop></video> <h1>Banner text</h1> </div>

In this code, we create a div element with a class of "banner". Inside this div, we add a video element with a src attribute set to the video file path, and autoplay, muted, and loop attributes set to automatically play the video in a loop without sound. Finally, we add any text or elements we want to display on top of the video, in this example a h1 element.

You can adjust the video file path and attributes to your needs. Keep in mind that not all browsers support the autoplay and muted attributes, so it's a good practice to provide a fallback image if the video can't be played.

add video to background

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.86 seconds

To add a video as the background of a webpage, you can use HTML and CSS.

Firstly, you need to add the video to your HTML code. You can do this using the <video> tag. Here's an example code:

html
Copy code
<video autoplay muted loop> <source src="your-video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video>

The autoplay attribute will automatically start the video when the page loads. The muted attribute ensures that the video will play without sound, as most browsers do not allow automatic playback of videos with sound. The loop attribute will make the video play continuously.

Replace your-video.mp4 with your video's filename and location.

Next, you will need to use CSS to style the <video> tag to display as the background. Here is an example CSS code to achieve this effect:

css
Copy code
video { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; min-width: 100%; min-height: 100%; z-index:-100; }

This code positions the video behind all other content (z-index: -100;) and makes it cover the entire viewport (min-width and min-height set to 100%). Adjust the values to fit your specific use case.

Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.

Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
