# Section’s background video does not work with Firefox

 * 1 bug report here and one feature request.
 * Bug: Placing a background video in the section block, works fantastically in 
   Chrome, but all I get in Firefox is blank, no video.
 * Feature Request: For the background video, we can currently only use a video 
   stored locally. Can we please also have the option to use a Youtube video too?
 * Thanks, great plugin.
 * UPDATE: I just discovered that the same issue (back. video) exists with the Cover
   Block. So the back. video shows up in Chrome, but not in Firefox. I have to conclude
   at this point that this is a Gutenberg bug somehow.

 * Does this demo work for you in Firefox?

 * Could you provide a link to a page on your website with the video?
    Try to mute
   the video with an option in Settings. Make sure video format is MP4. Take a look
   at this Q&A from Firefox [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-common-audio-and-video-issues)
 * For the Youtube video option I will create FR. Thank you.

 * The above video does NOT work for me in Firefox, but it’s fine in Chrome.
 * Here is a link of a testing page/site: [https://qtwp.cloudaccess.host/cover2/](https://qtwp.cloudaccess.host/cover2/)
 * The video is muted, and not on autoplay. The video is an MP4 format, downloaded
   from pixabay.
 * Looking forward for the Youtube support.
 * Thanks for the quick response.
