This method allows you to replay video content without the need for manual intervention to keep it playing continuously. In this article, we will look at two ways to do this, as well as when this method is useful.
Зацикленное видео пригодится для различных целей, вот несколько примеров:
1. Presenting a product, such as a bottle of perfume. If you sell electronics, it would be useful to demonstrate how a blender or coffee maker works.
2. Process animation. Show the process of preparing a dish, assembling a product, or operating a specific function.
3. Background element. For example, if the site is dedicated to tourism, you can show nature or famous landmarks to create an atmosphere of travel and inspire visitors.
Let's say you have a website about fitness and healthy living. You can use a looping video on the homepage to create an atmosphere of activity and energy. For example, you can post a video of an outdoor workout. This will help visitors feel enthusiastic and motivated to do fitness. You can loop videos of specific exercises. Create several short videos where a trainer explains techniques for the muscles of the arms, legs, or core. Visitors to the site can watch them and repeat the exercises at home or in the gym.
To place YouTube videos on your site, use the iframe tag. This will allow you to loop the video without having to upload and encode files to the server. To do this, do the following:
1.Go to YouTube and open the video you want to add.
2. Click on the Share button under the player and in the window that appears, select the “Embed” tab
3. In the window that opens, you can configure the parameters of the embedded video: width and height, show or hide the player control panel, set the start time of the video. After that, copy the generated code.
4. Open your website editor and paste the copied code on the desired page, in the place where you want to place the video
5.Now you need to add the parameter that loops the video. Add "loop=1" to the embed code before the closing </iframe> tag:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8nB2d45snI8?loop=1&si=nCVioMIUoTHD6nBh&controls=0&start=35" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen>
</iframe>
Now it will play in a loop, repeating endlessly.
Using the <video> tag allows you to place a local video on the site without the help of third-party services. To do this, you will need to first upload the video file to the server and add the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Пример страницы</title>
</head>
<body>
<video src="путь_к_файлу" muted autoplay loop></video>
</body>
</html>
Replace "путь_к_файлу" with the path to the uploaded video on the server.
The autoplay and loop attributes enable automatic playback and looping of the video, respectively.
Despite its accessibility, the manual method also has its downsides:
The method of adding videos from YouTube also has its downsides:
