Recreating Ambient Mode from Youtube Videos

YouTube's Ambient Mode enhances viewing by extending video colors to the background. This guide recreates a similar effect using two stacked videos. The process involves wrapping videos in a container div. The main video is positioned absolutely over a muted, control-less ambient video. The ambient video is then scaled, blurred, and its opacity reduced. This creates the immersive background effect. The guide shows how to position and style the videos for the desired look. JavaScript can be used to synchronize both videos dynamically. The blog provides a visual demo and source code for reference. The complete tutorial simplifies recreating YouTube's Ambient Mode.
