Add Youtube or similar video service using an embed URL in the background of the Cover block #28860
Comments
That would be wonderful. videoheader-twentyseventeen.mp4 |
Another request for adding a video service (Youtube) URL to the background of the Cover block. NB! The following information is from the above request link. Cover background can be set as color or upload image or video I have a dedicated server but I don’t like the idea to upload video in media for performance reason. I generally load on Youtube as “Unlisted” and get the URL to use it as background Is it possible to consider to have an option of background Youtube URL for cover ? I added the below as I too feel that this would be very helpful! |
another vote for this function. |
This came up as part of the FSE Outreach Program's All Things Media exploration - consider it another vote!

This is so frustrating. |
Another vote for this, Youtube and also for Vimeo embed. |
One more vote here for this to add Youtube and Vimeo to cover |
Another vote for this - streaming video from your server is far from ideal for most sites on low-cost hosting setups. |
My team told me this theme was good to start moving to for improving site speed as the theme we have been using is causing some issues. We are building our first client site with Blocks and the one area where speed is a real issue (video) it seems Blocks provides the worst possible options for adding the video by limiting to hosting the video file directly on the server, which we all should know by now causes real performance issues and video should be embedded via URL and hosted on a streaming platform. I'm pumping the brakes on moving to this theme as I'm even more surprised how long this has been a known issue with no movement even with paid support. Our only solution/workaround was to add another plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-backgrounds/ |
Any update on this? I'm desperate for this - modern times need hosted videos as backgrounds all the time! |
Regarding: #49273 (comment) It might be possible to add an URL to the new Media control which was just added to the Site Logo block in the newest Gutenberg plugin. The above shows a new Media panel. It would make it possible Open Media Library, Upload (image, gif, video etc), Embed URL etc. |
Upvote here for Vimeo |
Really surprised to find that this isn't available. |
+1 for this one. Tried to hack in my own version, but it breaks the focus point preview. |
Surprised that this functionality didn't occur to the Gutenbergians during initial implementation. |
This question came up in the Core Editor Slack channel from

Are there any plans to support YouTube videos as a background for the cover block?
I did not find an issue for it, so I am adding one here.
