Setting the Background Image

Introduction

Background images are an additional branding component that you can use on the video player pages. 

The background image is displayed with a gradient fade behind the video player.

The first background image uploaded to the container will automatically be selected as the default. When more than one image is uploaded, you can choose a default which is then used as the background image on the front end on the video player page.

Access the Background Tab

You can access the Backgrounds tab while editing a video container selected from the Library.

You have the option to upload a background image at any time to replace the generated image that gets shown when no background image has been uploaded yet. This generated image comes from the video containers cover image if one is available, if not then it will use the sites default cover image.
