How to add a video as a background for a bokeh plot in python?

Community Support

Hi all,

I am planning to create a plot (preferably column) and I want an initial animation where the columns rises and a small clip (0:11 s) plays in the background. Is it possible to do in Bokeh?

I tried googling but could not find any answers so decided to post here :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I don't think anyone has ever done this, as least no one else has ever asked about it, or demonstrated it to my knowledge. There is certainly nothing built in to Bokeh itself to support this use case. The only options I can imagine putting the video player in a div and using the standard bokeh embed functions to embed a transparent plot on top. Unfortunately, I think you will struggle to get things to line up in a precise way, however.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Thanks so much for your message. I will try the embed feature :slight_smile:

Btw, I am taking your class on DataCamp right now and it is amazing! Thanks so much for teaching me!
