Adding a video background to your funnel or website is a great way to create a visually engaging, professional-looking page. It can captivate your audience, reinforce your branding, and leave a lasting impression. This guide walks you through adding and customising video backgrounds in NotLuck CRM, ensuring smooth integration and good performance.

Before adding a video background, make sure your video is hosted within the CRM. External sources like YouTube or Vimeo are not supported. Upload your video to the CRM's Media Storage in MP4 format for compatibility.

Creating or Editing a Funnel/Website

Within the CRM, locate and click on the "Sites" option. Here, you can choose from both the Funnels and Websites options. In the funnels section, click on the "New Funnel" button to add a new funnel from scratch or edit an existing one.

Adding and Customising Video Backgrounds

Once you've created or opened a funnel/website, follow these steps to add a video background.

Choose the Funnel Step or Section

Select the step or section where you want to add the video background. Click on the Edit button to access the customisation settings.

Enable Background Media Type

Once in the funnel/website builder, scroll through the customisation settings until you find the "Background Media Type" option. Select "Video" as your preferred background type.

Select Your Video

Choose the video file you uploaded to the CRM's Media Storage. Make sure the video suits your site's tone and adds to the user experience.

Customise Video Settings

  • Video Thumbnail: Choose a thumbnail that represents the video's content.
  • Video Fit: Use the "Cover" option to ensure the video fills the section seamlessly.
  • Background Video Opacity: Adjust the opacity to balance the video with overlaying text or images.
  • Loop Video: Enable this option if you want the video to replay continuously.

Always preview your page to confirm the video displays correctly and doesn't disrupt the user experience. Once you're happy with the result, click Save and Publish to make the changes live.

Adding video backgrounds to your funnel or website is a straightforward way to enhance its visual appeal and create a more dynamic user experience. Following these steps, you can integrate videos that suit your brand and engage your audience.

Troubleshooting and Tips

  • Supported Video Formats: Only MP4 videos are supported. If you have videos in other formats (.MOV, etc.), use a converter to change them to MP4 before uploading.
  • Optimising Video for Web: Make sure your video is optimised for web use to avoid slow loading times, which can negatively affect user experience.
  • Video Content Considerations: Choose a video that complements your page content without distracting from the main message. Subtle, slow-moving videos often work best.
