“…Nothing grabs a user’s attention like a big, full-window video on a landing page.
For example, check out Path.com.
However, with all the various screens potentially connecting to your site these days – making sure your movie plays full-window on all of them can be tricky.
That’s where BigVideo.js comes in.
Developer John Polacek‘s BigVideo is a jQuery plugin for adding big background videos to your site.
The plugin makes it easy to drop in a single video URL and get fit-to-fill background video that takes up the whole window.
The script will fall back to displaying an image on devices where video doesn’t work.
BigVideo can also handle playlists – serving up a series of videos -
- as well as a very cool feature to play videos without the sound.
And yes, you can (and should) add a button to allow users to turn the video off altogether…”
