A short and sweet blog post but hopefully of interest.
There have been a few tweets recently about customising the login page in APEX to have background images, and I thought it was about time I blogged again about something I setup for a very small piece of John’s KSCOPE17 presentation.
Basically, the request was to add a video to the background of a single page application (which had no login page).
So, I’ve decided to document how to do this on the Login Page.

Then in the HTML Header of Page 101, add the following:

That’s it.
Check out the demo in Chrome (unfortunately probably wont work in IE7) , and change the select list to get some more examples - here
Obviously, consider the size of the videos you are embedding but I think the output is pretty impressive.
