Hey! I havent updated my Slider Images for a while and was wondering if it would be possible to embed a youtube video instead of the image slider. Thanks for any help in advance!

There is no option to replace the slider with the Video. So for this, you need to build a child theme and add a custom function.
There is also a plugin called Catch Featured Video Pro which will add an option to upload a video instead of a Featured Image on a Page/post. After installing this plugin, you can add a YouTube video URL to the page/post “Catch Featured Video Pro URL box”. Finally, go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select Slider type as “Page/Post” and then select the page/post that has a video URL.Regards,

That plugin does the job pretty god except for one thing.
I followed your instructions. Still the featured slider displays a little grey box in the video Thumbnail as if it wants to print the post title. If I ad a post title it prints the title “over” the video thumbnail.
How could one hide this box?
Thanks in advance !

#main-slider .entry-container { display: none; }
and that worked fine!

Yes, Additional CSS is the best way to solve that. Thanks for sharing it.
