How to add a background video to the homepage slider in Brooklyn theme?

Brooklyn is one of the most downloaded free themes from Shopify.

Taking into account that this theme has a full-featured homepage slider, you can take advantage of this feature and add a video to more than one slide with Video Background.

It is possible to add videos to each slide easily using the following target:

.slide--slideshow-N img 

where N is the index of the slide starting from 0.

If we want to put the video on the first slide, we have to write this selector:

.slide--slideshow-0 img 

and if we want to put the video on the third slide, we have to write this selector:

.slide--slideshow-2 img 

To do so, let's go to the app preferences page and tap on the  Add new video option.

After that, make sure to select the  home page and Section Video Background options on the video location page, as well as to configure the selector mentioned before:

After this, you can click on  Save and continue and introduce the desired video URL on the following page:

After this, the video should be properly visible on the desired position.

Note that it is important to keep the target element opaque:

If we want to replace the entire slider, we can use this selector:

.hero-slideshow
