Installation

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @magicui/backlight-video-demo

Requires @magicui in the registries of your components.json (shadcn adds official directory namespaces automatically).

Usage

usage.tsx
import BacklightVideoDemo from "@/registry/magicui/backlight-video-demo"<BacklightVideoDemo />
  • Show a video inside a decorative ambient glow or gradient effect.
  • Create a polished landing-page video section without building a custom player.
  • Present product demos, background loops, tutorials, or promotional videos in a responsive layout.

Examples

Use the installed demo directly

Render the registry example as provided.

use-the-installed-demo-directly.tsx
import BacklightVideoDemo from "@/registry/magicui/backlight-video-demo"export default function VideoSection() {  return <BacklightVideoDemo />}

Use Backlight with a product video

Compose the same effect with a different embedded video.

use-backlight-with-a-product-video.tsx
import { Backlight } from "@/registry/magicui/backlight"export default function ProductVideo() {  return (    <Backlight blur={40} className="w-full">      <iframe        className="mx-auto aspect-video w-full max-w-lg"        src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9CJLtzzUphU"        title="Product demonstration"        allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"        referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"        allowFullScreen      ></iframe>    </Backlight>  )}

Use an instructional video

Use the same responsive composition for educational content.

use-an-instructional-video.tsx
import { Backlight } from "@/registry/magicui/backlight"export default function TutorialVideo() {  return (    <Backlight blur={40} className="w-full">      <iframe        className="mx-auto aspect-video w-full max-w-lg"        src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9CJLtzzUphU"        title="Tutorial video"        allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"        referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"        allowFullScreen      ></iframe>    </Backlight>  )}

Accessibility

  • The iframe includes a descriptive title for screen reader users.
  • The iframe uses allowFullScreen and explicitly declares supported media and presentation capabilities through allow.
  • The responsive aspect-ratio layout preserves the video shape across viewport sizes.
  • Provide an accurate title for the specific embedded video and verify that the YouTube video itself offers captions when needed.
  • The embedded YouTube player remains a third-party interactive control, so keyboard and focus behavior should be tested in the surrounding page.
