Video on Pique theme

Now discovering I can’t use a video as a featured image on the pique theme. Is anyone able to recommend the best plug in to use to have a full width video on my page, that is also responsive on mobile devices?

Hi there,
You would like to add a full width video as your header, is this correct?
Note that you will need a WordPress.com Business plan to use plugins, if you don’t already you can upgrade your plan here – https://wordpress.com/plans/
After a quick search, I found a plugin that may work for you. It allows for a full width video background header – https://wordpress.com/plans/
Note that there are other free/premium themes that allow video background headers, one of them being twentyseventeen – https://wordpress.com/theme/twentyseventeen
You can find other themes that allow video backgrounds in the theme search. Be sure to check if the theme allows video headers – https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/feature:video
All embedded videos and video headers will be responsive by default.
Please let me know if this answers your questions :)

So… I like the theme I’m working with, so if I can get a video header to work with Pique that’s what I’d rather do- do i need to upgrade to pro (with video-background) to have this video as my header?
-
Yes, if you would like to use the Pique theme with a plugin, you will need a Business plan. Pique doesn’t have video header functionality out of the box. Only Business plans are able to install plugins.
Let me know if you run into any issues!

I have paid for Video Background Pro – and i have downloaded the content- however a .zip file doesn’t seem to be there?

Just to be sure, have you already installed the plugin? The install page is located here – https://wordpress.com/plugins/video-background/
If you downloaded it externally, you can install the plugin files inside your wp-admin dashboard here by clicking upload plugin – https://campgetaway.blog/wp-admin/plugin-install.php
After you install, you can reach the getting started page in your wp-admin section here – https://campgetaway.blog/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=html5-vidbg
More info on adding plugins – https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/adding-plugins/
Here is the support forum for the plugin – https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/video-background
And there is some more info on the plugins website about how to integrate – https://pushlabs.co/docs/video-background/
Please give me some more details and I will try to help!

Also, if you downloaded the plugin outside of WordPress.com it should be on your hard drive somewhere, perhaps in your downloads folder. If you are using chrome you can see your recent downloads here – chrome://downloads/

I have downloaded the link, however it’s not in a .zip format which is what I need for plugins?
-
Yes, you will need to install the plugin as a .zip file.
Can you share the link? Not sure what you mean by downloading a link :)
Also, just to be sure, you are trying to install video background plugin that you found here? – https://wordpress.org/plugins/video-background/

I just realized that you may have “unzipped” the file already. If you have you can try zipping it back up with the software on your computer, or download it again from wherever you got it from.

I’ve clicked where it said ‘download’ and when I have dowloaded the file- it’s a folder, not a .zip file so then it won’t let me upload it to wordpress.
