You can choose a static image, video, newsletter, or a slider as your banner. The banner will be displayed at the top of your website.
Note: If you have added a video, the image will not be displayed. You can either use an image or a video in the banner section at a time. In the mobile view, the video will not be displayed to save bandwidth, instead, the fallback image will be displayed. So we recommend you to add a banner image as well.
To set up your banner:
- Go to Appearance > Customize > Front Page Settings > Banner Section
- Choose either Banner as Slider, Static/Video Banner, Static/Video Newsletter Banner or Disable Banner (if you do not want banner at all)

Note: Before you choose Latest Posts, Category or Pages to be displayed in the Banner section, you have to create enough posts, categories, and pages.
