Pinpointe's Landing Page (LP) Builder allows a user to add a background video to a page section. After editing your LP, look at the Background Video drop-down menu on the Section Settings on the right (Fig 1). If the Section Settings aren't visible, click on the gear icon in the lower-right of the screen.

Clicking the drop-down menu next to Background Video presents you with four options: (Fig 2):
- None: This is the default; there's no background video on your LP.
- YouTube: Display a YouTube video in the background.
- Vimeo: Display a Vimeo video in the background.
- URL: Display a video from a URL in the background.

If you click on the gear, you can get the following customization options (Fig 3 + 4):
- Position
- Absolute: Background video will take up the background on the page no matter how far down you scroll.
- Fixed: Background video will be fixed to the top of the page. If you keep scrolling on the page, it won't "scroll with you".
- Size
- Cover: The background video will fill the entire browser.
- Contain: The background video will play inside of a centered container so it doesn't fill the whole browser. The background behind the container can be adjusted through the Background options located above Background Video in the Section Settings.
