Background video for desktop and photo for mobile devices?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Is it possible to use a background video on the landing page of a website, while using a photo as the background of that same section on mobile devices? 

Or, is it possible to adjust the background video such that it automatically appears well on mobile devices too? (It already looks good on a desktop, but doesn't appear properly on mobile devices.)

New to all this - would be grateful for any assistance!

Thanks. 🙂

Thanks so much for responding! 

The site url is https://www.frjohnharvey.com/ and the password is sagart22naofa

I'd be grateful for the code for both options, so I could try each out and see what works best!  

You mean this section?

Thank you so much, Tuan!!  That worked perfectly!  I now have the video appearing on the desktop and a still pic appearing on my phone.

I'm very, very grateful for your assistance! 🙏
