Example: http://rochestb.github.io/jQuery.YoutubeBackground
jQuery plugin that lets you create background videos using youtube api
Put the script at the bottom of your markup right after jQuery:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="src/jquery.youtubebackground.js"></script>
<div id="video"></div>
Call the plugin function and your carousel is ready.
$('#video').YTPlayer({
fitToBackground: true,
videoId: 'LSmgKRx5pBo'
});
#video{
position: relative;
background: transparent;
}
.ytplayer-container{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
Youtube Javascript API Options
Access all of YouTube's API by using player:
var player = $('#background-video').data('ytPlayer').player;
player.pauseVideo();
player.playVideo();
player.addEventListener('onStateChange', function(data){
console.log("Player State Change", data);
});
