Lightweight background slider for your website. Just upload images and they will rotate on your site background.

Turn plain sections into scroll-stopping hero banners with beautiful video backgrounds – no code, right in the Gutenberg editor. Video Background | Live Demos | Pricing Why Video Background Block? Static sections are easy to scroll past. Video Background Block lets you create beautiful sections with background videos directly in the Gutenberg editor – using self-hosted videos, YouTube, or Vimeo – to build engaging hero sections, banners, landing pages, and promotional content without writing any code.

It also provides universal shortcodes, so you can display video backgrounds in other page builders too.
