of your WordPress installation, and then activate the plugin from the plugins page.
## FAQ
### I’m using the plug in as background video and I can see the control bar on the bottom but the video doesn’t display
Your theme is probably using a wrapper for the content and it probably has a background
color or image. You should check the CSS and remove that background to let the video
that is behind do display correctly.
### Does it work on mobile devices
Yes! the only difference is that the background video starts once the device scrin
is touched after the page has been loaded.
### I would have an image on the background before the video starts and after the video end; how can I do?
The simplest way is to add an image as background of the body via CSS.
### I set the video quality to hd1080 but it doesn’t display at this quality; why?
The video quality option is just a suggestion for the Youtube API; the video is
served by Youtube with the quality that best fits the bandwidth and the display
size according to that setting.
### The video stops some seconds before the real end; why?
To prevent the display of the “play” button provided by the Youtube API the video
intentionally stops some seconds before the end; if you are the owner of the video
I can suggest to make it a little bit longer (about 3/4 seconds).
### I love your plugin! What can I do to help?
Creating and supporting this plugin takes up a lot of my free time, therefore I
would highly appreciate if you could take a couple of minutes to write a review.
This will help other WordPress users to start using this plugin and keep me motivated
to maintain and support it. You can also make a donation to support my work!
## Recensioni
### [Shortcode generator is in old classic WP TinyMCE!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-generator-is-in-old-classic-wp-tinymce/)
[momo-fr](https://profiles.wordpress.org/momo-fr/) 4 Ottobre 2023
I just purchased the PLUS version and I see that the shortcode generator is only
present in the old Classic editor (nothing in the Classic Gutenberg block). It’s
a shame not to follow the evolution of WordPress. Be careful, this is a huge limitation
which makes the plugin almost unusable.
### [Who wants someone elses email address shown on their website?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/who-wants-someone-elses-email-address-shown-on-their-website/)
[r9000](https://profiles.wordpress.org/r9000/) 3 Maggio 2020 6 risposte
I understand having to pay extra for access to some settings, but displaying your
email address on every page of my website with no option to hide it is crossing
the line. Who would want this? It makes the free version worthless and nothing more
than a demo.

Great plugin and support!
### [Video just loops and loops](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/video-just-loops-and-loops/)
[mrrobot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mrrobot/) 23 Febbraio 2019
Very simple to use and set up. For some reason the video default setting is set
to loop. Maybe this is to annoy people to upgrade to pro, since that is the only
way to easily disable it. I suggest using a different player.

I searched a while to find a way to enable YouTube video backgrounds which play
also on mobile devices. This Plugin-In is great. I also purchased pro, which is
absolutely worth it.
