Can you please try to be very specific about the question and explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer.
Okay, well, on my page, I am using the element "empty space" from visual composer as a divider. I set the height to 400px. Then, in the row settings, I added images with parallax scrolling (see screenshot). This works fine and looks really nice.
For some dividers, I would like to use video background. There is this option in row settings which lets me link to a youtube URL. However, I was wondering if I can also upload a video directly (not to youtube) and let it play in the background.
The problem is, when I link to a youtube video, it doesn't load. Do you think a self-hosted video would load better or is it just because my internet connection is too slow?
Can you please write us your site URL (and WP credentials in case we ned them) here on comments first? We need to investigate your site and then get back to you if we have possible solution.

Okay, so I read that if a video does not load because of a slow internet connection, some websites display images instead of video (only for those visitors with a slow connection). Is this somehow possible with your theme?
Hey guys!
I'm wondering if I can also add self-hosted videos as video background instead of linking to a video on Youtube. Is that possible?
Best,
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
It seems that this feature is not available on the VC elements.
Okay, good to know. This plugin says it also lets you upload self-hosted videos: http://codecanyon.net/item/ultimate-addons-for-visual-composer/6892199?_ga=1.203604055.690506715.1464953180

Unfortunately my site is not live yet and I'm working in a local environment. I'll send you a link once the site is online :)

Hi Bernd,
We are sorry but i don't know what to say about this question, but our theme doesn't offer this kind of option.
Okay, thanks anyway!
