Windows 10: Background videos on Microsoft Start Page no longer play background videos automatically.

A few days ago my Microsoft Start Page stopped playing background scenes of landscapes automatically. You now have to touch a play button to make it start. Is there any way for the video to start automatically without clicking the play button?

Youtube videos are not buffering if the video is paused or if it is put in the background

I have a Nokia Lumia 520



i was watching a youtube video on 2G connection and the video was big so i paused it so that it would buffer and i will get to watch the video without any interruption.



But if paused the video does not buffer!!



secondly on IE10 when i click on a youtube video it pops up a page or something like that with an instruction to click to play the video.



when i click the video plays but if i pause the video and put it in the background and then access it again the video is gone instead it takes me agian to the pop up page to click and start the video again.

 

adding background music to video

You need a video editing program to do that. Because you tell you have no experience, I recommend you start with a free one before spending money, to see if video editing is something you might get interested in.

In my opinion, the absolutely easiest to use and by far the best of all free editors is OpenShot (OpenShot Video Editor | Free, Open, and Award-Winning Video Editor for Linux, Mac, and Windows!)

It is Open Source (Open source - Wikipedia), free with no hidden costs for additional features.

When installed, run OpenShot. List numbers refer to numbers in screenshot:

1. Select Project Files
2. Click + to browse to and import your video
3. Video will be added to Project Files
4. Drag the video to timeline, to any free track. Be sure to add video so that beginning of it touches the red vertical line at beginning of the track
5. Right click video track, select Separate Audio > Single clip

(Click to enlarge.)

Audio will be separated from video and moved to another track. Select the audio track, right click it and select Remove Clip:





Audio track will be cleared, the original audio of your video removed.

Import your music file to Project Files exactly as you imported the video, and drag it to any free track.

Usually the added audio track is not the same length than the video. If your music lasts longer than the video, go to end of timeline and drag audio track content so that it ends at the same point than video:





If your music track is shorter than video, you can add it again at the end of current audio track.

Now you can export (save) the video:





That's it! Easy, fast and free.



Note Please notice that if you want to publish the video on social media, YouTube and such, you must own copyrights for audio and video content, or have copyright owner's permission. On my 100+ Windows videos, when I feel the video needs some background music, I use the copyright free music from https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music. Another free source is the Free Music Archive.

 

videos at the background

I want to have a few videos displayed at the background. I collected several pictures to make a slideshow and set it as a background but I want to know if I can set a few different videos for the background to demonstrate them in turn.
