Possible to play a video across slides in Presentation Mode?

Question

Hi I'd like to have a background video play across slides and use the arrow keys to trigger builds, etc. I thought I would simply use fixed position to do that but there seems to be some kind of incompatibility going on. Am I just doing something wrong, or is there no way to do video across presentation slides?

Thanks in advance.

If the slides are your pages and you're using Presentation Mode to advance them, you may want to export that content with no background, embed it using the Web Content interactive widget (in5 > Interactive Widgets > Web Content), and place a video in the new document where you embed the Presentation Mode document. Here's a video with a similar setup where I show the process for making a video play behind an embedded scrolling site:
