Hello

I am trying to make the main banner of my homepage a looping video that autoplays upon visiting my website.

Hi Alisa,

What theme are you using? Are you able to share a link to your site so I can take a look at it?

To make your main banner a looping video that autoplays add a video tag in your website code. Use autoplay loop and muted in the tag. This helps the video play right away and keep playing. Make sure the video file is not too big so your site loads fast. This will help your homepage look better and work smoother.
