Place video with 100% height & 100% width using css or javascript

css, html, javascript

Solution

You may try:

header {
    position: relative;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: 50% 50%;
    height: 100vh;
    z-index: 0;
}
header h1 {
    text-align: center;
    font: 3em/1.4 helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
    color: #fff
}
header video {
    -webkit-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    -moz-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    -ms-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    -o-transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    min-width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    width: auto;
    height: auto;
    z-index: -100;
}

<header>
    <h1>Sample Title</h1>
 <video autoplay loop class="bg-video">
  <source src="https://d2v9y0dukr6mq2.cloudfront.net/video/preview/abstract-rainbow_wjpctkdes__PM.mp4" type="video/mp4">
 </video>
</header>

It will keep the aspect ratio and the video centered while always fully covering the container.

Here's a fiddle working example.

Hope it helps :)

Problem

I want to place a html5 video (with the video tag of course) with 100% width and 100% height which will play in the background. Here is an example with an image and I want exactly the same with a video, I just didn't find out how to do that: ``` #image { background-image: url("image.jpg"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 100% 100%; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; } ``` JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/u9ncpyfu/
