Using the Background Editor

To apply a color, image or video for the background of your board's sections, you can use the Background Editor. 

For instance, adding a short video on a Banner is a great way to add visual interest to a board and engage your leads. Folloze supports MP4 and .mov files and allows a maximum file size of 25 MB for videos. 

Using the Background Editor, you can also set the size of the top and bottom padding around the content. 

In addition, you can apply different background settings for mobile devices.
