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

Narrative is another great theme that we can find on Shopify for free. 

One of the outstanding features of this theme is that it has a full-featured homepage slider that allow you to add image slides as well as video slides. 

You can take advantage of this feature and add a video to each slide with Video Background. 

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

.slideshow__image:eq(N) 

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:

.slideshow__image:eq(0) 	

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

.slideshow__image:eq(2) 	

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

Once on this page, 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:

Finally, the video should be properly visible on the desired position.

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

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

.slideshow
