Hello,

I have been working on Dawn theme and trying to add a video in the background of the Main Page where the Menu header is. The thing is that I can’t join them because one is a header block and other a section. How can it be done?

Also, I want it to dissapear once I move to another page from the Main one.

I attach an example of another webpage (shirtz.cool)

Here is the PREVIEW of my webpage

Thanks

Hi @Gorben ,

This would be a complex request requiring multiple steps to change it. You must edit the Slideshow section to add the video block, then change the header to be sticky on the home page.

Therefore, I recommend you hire a professional for this. Or I am here to check and do it for you
