Hi,

I found the solution to this query which is instead of adding a video in the background I added a gif in the background and gave it proper height and width which would cover the screen.

The steps were as follows:

  1. Download any gif image and save it in your system.
  2. In themes→ web create a separate folder named Style and inside it create a new custom.scss file (If you already have custom.scss file then go to step 3)
  3. Copy the downloaded gif file and place it in themes→ web
  4. Place your login page inside a container and give that container a class name. 
  5. In custom.scss file add use the class name and use the following code:

.class_name{

    background-image: url("File_name.gif");

    height:97vh;

    width: 100%;

    }

  1. Import the custom.scss in your main.scss file. 
  2. Run the application.
