Comment (by blackstar1991):

 It's not a bug.
 This is normal behavior of the component.
 If you need a full-width video component, you can create it yourself or
 download the plugin.
 The image can be set because there is a [background

 /background-image] property for CSS. You cannot put a video file in this
 property.
