Issue: white background of the video overlay

The white background of the video overlay causes us to lose the visible and recognizable shape of the video component. Since the page background is the same white color as part of the video, the user does not know where the clickable area begins.

Solution #1 - full background overlay image

To maintain consistency we should clearly and visually inform the user that they are viewing a video. First recomended method is to use full background cover image.

Solution #2 - gray semi-transparent overlay

Use a gray semi-transparent overlay for your video image. Create it in a graphic program and add it to the Video & Audio component. This will make your video look similar to the videos familiar to users from other websites.

Solution #3 - gray image frame

Add a gray frame to the image so that it clearly stands out from the background of the page. This way, with the frame and the play icon, the user will easily recognize that it is a video.

Solution #4 - tiles with color background

Add a colored background to the columns in the Inner Grid. This will create a tiles effect separated by white space.

Solution #5 - full width colored background
