How are interactive CSS based videos possible?

I was looking at the website for facebook's portal and I was very confused as to how they made the interactive videos on the website. Are they GIFs or actual videos? Also if you scroll down the page you'll see a video where when you move the scroll down it zooms out to appear a larger video, but it seems to be image based.



How is it possible to incorporate these "not real videos but plays like videos" in my own website?

    Lol inspecting the page, they have a video in the background but the guy is talking to nothing scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.2365-6/… .... it looks like the portal is an image scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.2365-6/… and its like two videos stacked on each other with the image surrounding the one?

  • @Carson I think that might be it. Really interesting how they did that. I've seen it on a lot of newer websites that they're using videos in really flexible formats now.
