Hello,
Unfortunately YouTube videos are not currently supported.

Max, would you be able to download the youtube video into MP4 and then convert it into a supported format?

4

Yes, if you can download the video to an .mp4 it should be suitable for use as a background video

5

Sure you can, but i really wold like to use a youtube video since my hosting its no so good or fast as Youtube.

Have you tried any of the solutions available in a Google search? I don’t believe there is a Wappler way to do it.
