    Dear @Markus

    Sorry for the late reply! i do apologise, forgive me.

    Currently i'm unable to hunt the code for you, but i still wish to help and can take a look into it during the week,
    Would be great to come to a solution and this will help others as well!

    Let me know how you got with this issue and if you found a solution, :)

    Best Wishes & have a great weekend

    Sincerely
    Richard

      Dear @Markus

      Thank you for your patience,

      We can use the HTML insert option to add a video to your page and also wrap the video in a link of you choice.

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.29.57 PM.png

      This is a basic setup, i hope it helps you, and also some reference to what is occuring

      https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp
      https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_src.asp
      https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp

      Within these pages you can see some of the basic options we have to start with

      Lets take a look at this piece of code :)

      <a href="/category/regietest" target="_blank">
          <video width="320" height="240" controls autoplay loop muted>
              
            <source src="https://rickei3.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.mp4" type="video/mp4">
            <source src="https://rickei3.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.ogg" type="video/ogg">
            
          Your browser does not support the video tag.
          </video>
      </a>
      

      First we want to wrap the video in a link for you

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.33.50 PM.png

      These <a> tags ( link tags ) exist as a box that contains the video content, the link is set to "/category/regietest" this relative url ( see relative & absolute in the links i provided ) can be used if you want to just link to another page on your website as you only have to use the end of your url structure:

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.42.26 PM.png

      If you wish to link outside of your website use the whole url - absolute url

      also you can see - target="_blank"
      This is so when the link is clicked the browser knows to open the link in a new tab, if you wish to go straight to the linked page just remove this from the code.

      Secondly the <video> tags:

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.33.50 PM copy.png

      Here we can define some variables of the video:

      set the width & height ( remove this is you wish the video's natural dimensions to be used )

      controls: this will add play buttons and volume etc

      Autoplay - automatically run on page load

      loop - loop...

      muted - muted... :)

      Thirdly the <source> tags:

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.58.03 PM.png

      Here we define the path to the video, we add two of these to have better coverage across browsers some browsers accept .mp4 - some .ogg

      We have the same video but just in two formats and we define it with the type""
      at the end.

      These video paths can be from outside your website or if you upload a video to your media library:

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.50.28 PM.png

      You can copy the url to add as the video source

      Screen Shot 2020-09-07 at 4.50.43 PM.png

      I hope this helps you on your Lay Theme Journey :)

      Best wishes
      Richard

            @Richard-Keith
            It's unfortunately not working... tried in two systems :( with some html versions and some mp4's.

            It looks like the video is in the background, a layer in between in browser?! Right click shows the menu of a typical mp4-file ;(
            for example (client-website secret still): https://unanau.com/de/video

            Thanks & Best!
            Markus

            One Test of many :)

            <a href="https://unanau.com/de/studio-team/" target="_blank">
                <video width="100%" height="500" controls autoplay loop muted>
                    
                  <source src="https://rickei3.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_1MB.mp4" type="video/mp4">

                Your browser does not support the video tag.
                </video>
            </a>

              Dear @Markus

              This is odd, and your correct the video is in the background,

              I inspected and found that the video had been set somehow to Opacity:0 making it transparent:

              Screen Shot 2020-09-10 at 4.22.31 PM.png

              Add this to Custom CSS in "Lay Options- Custom HTML & CSS"

              .col video {
                  opacity: 1 !important;
              }
              

              Best
              Richard

                Perfect @Richard-Keith!! Thanks!! :)

                It runs.

                (The Opacity:0 is in all my laytheme systems I think. I changed nothing before there.)

                Best and Big Thanks!!
                Markus
