Can you use a video as a website background?
Website video backgrounds can help a business stand out and increase time on site when used correctly. Just make sure it doesn't become a distraction. Set it to autoplay.
How long should website background video be?
Keep the video relatively short
Longer videos will have a greater file size, will consume more of the user's bandwidth, and may take longer to start streaming. Keep the video around 10-15 seconds in length. That should be an adequate amount of time to convey an intended idea or emotion.
How large should a background video be?
Optimize the Video File
Your video can be HD (high definition), which is 720p video (1280 x 720 pixels). There really is no reason to export a background video in Full HD (1920 x 1080) - that's simply overkill and wastes bandwidth.
