  There is at least one WordPress.com theme that allows an optional full-width background video that displays in the header area. That would be Swell, a premium theme.

  • Swell theme guide
  • Swell demo

  On the free themeSela, pages with the front page template assigned may display the page content in a white box, called an “overlay,” that will overlay the featured image set on the page. The overlay feature doesn’t appear if no featured image is set on the page. If a page with the front page template assigned is set as the front page, and has a featured image set, then videos may be displayed in the overlay by inserting them in the page content.

  @tlmcfee:

  You might try Twenty Seventeen, as it also allows a video in the header.

  @dcoleonline:

  Hey – Im using the video header for twenty Seventeen.

  My issue is that when the video plays it moves to left to revels some of the back ground colour.

  It completely ruins the whole effect that a video header has.

  I think it has something to do with the play button being on the top right of the page. It looks totally fine when I just use a picture

  stolenkiterecords – I’m not seeing the effect you mentioned. Could you please start a new thread and provide a screenshot of the issue, along with:

  – device (i.e. PC laptop)
  – OS (i.e. Windows 8.1)
  – browser and version (i.e. Firefox 52.0.2)
  – browser window size (i.e. 1440px by 500px)

  If you’re unsure about any of these, please visit http://supportdetails.com/

  Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot:

  You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or GIF – in your Media Library so we can see it. Thanks.
