Fill screen with a background video section (Brooklyn theme)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently using the Brooklyn theme and would like help on enlarging the first section on my homepage.

The section has a background video and I’m currently facing two issues:

  1. The video width is fine on normal monitors, but on some others (like ultrawides) it doesn’t resize properly and leaves white bars to the left and right

  2. The section height – even though I set the section to “large,” I might need to custom code it so that the section responsively fills the entire screen instead of just a little more than half

This is the link to the store:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

Using a Vimeo video this is not possible, it comes with a maximum width set up already.

You’d need to code a custom section onto your theme to use an uploaded video instead of a vimeo/youtube video. Since it would require Liquid/CSS/Javascript knowledge to implement this feature, I’m afraid that unfortunately there is no simple copy-paste solution otherwise I’d happily guide you through.

In case you’re unfamiliar with these technologies you’ll need to hire a Shopify developer to assist you.

Kind regards,
Diego
