How do I go about setting a video to fill the whole of this jumbotron as a background and make it responsive?

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/examples/jumbotron/

<div class="jumbotron">
  <div class="container">
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    <p>This is a template for a simple marketing or informational website. It includes a large callout called a jumbotron and three supporting pieces of content. Use it as a starting point to create something more unique.</p>
    <p><a class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" href="#" role="button">Learn more &raquo;</a></p>
  </div>
</div>

You should try yourself and provide a demo of what you done so far and ask for help for problem, anyway. you should put your video element and set absolute position width 100% width and height.

video {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

.jumbotron {
    padding-top: 30px;
    padding-bottom: 30px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
    color: inherit;
    background-color: #eee;
    height: 300px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}

.container {
    position: relative;
}

  • I tried one other example posted here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34624496/bootstrap-video-jumbotron But like yours, it also fills the whole screen and not just the jumbotron. – blankface Oct 28 '17 at 10:09
  • @ZeroDarkThirty You have to set a certain `height` and `overflow:hidden` on `jumbotron` there is no other way. See updated. – Pedram Oct 28 '17 at 10:35
