## What it is
Vide is a jQuery plugin for adding fullscreen video backgrounds to web pages via simple data attributes or JS initialization. It handles multi-format video delivery, posters, looping, muting, and responsive resizing.

## Use cases
- add a video background to a hero section
- play looping background video on a landing page
- declarative video background via data attributes
- responsive fullscreen video poster fallback on mobile

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy jQuery codebase and need video backgrounds
- you want a tiny declarative plugin without a build step

## When to avoid
- starting a new modern project without jQuery
- you need iOS or Android video playback support
- you need actively maintained software

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: video-processing, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, media
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, video-background, declarative, responsive, javascript
