Fullscreen YouTube video backgrounds

Describe the feature you'd like to see included in Oxygen.

Would love fullscreen video backgrounds pulled from YouTube (and maybe Vimeo, Daily Motion...).

With the following features—in no particular order:

1- Custom Start / End points. 2 - Looping on / off 3 - Mute sound on / off 4 - Useable on Pages, Posts, Post Archives, 404, Searches etc... 5 - With custom Image fall back. 6 - Colour and Gradient overlay option. 7 - iOS compatible. 8 - Visible behind transparent Menus and Footers. 9 - Option to remove YouTube UI / elements. 10 - Custom Play / Pause button with on / off option. 11 - Lazy loading (see background video first).

What are the use cases for this feature?

For businesses, musicians, artists and creatives.

YouTube gives us an opportunity to use their bandwidth AND speed, it's 2022 already and as we all know videos are the way forward, the 'internet of things' is unfolding before our eyes and we must use ALL available resources.

Examples of this feature or functionality.

Seen some of these features on a Music Theme (Kentha), it's great for looping short VDJ / FX sections as background videos, pulled from YouTube, it's super fast, neat and works on iOS devices.
