Description
I'm attempting to set a video as the background for a block.
this block is a group which is nested inside a row.
A filter is being applied to the media gallery which makes it so only images can be picked.

The Cover block actually does allow you to set a video as the background.
Please try that block.

In WordPress 7.0, the cover block allows several providers to be embedded as background videos. See https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/73023 for more details.

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 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/background-image] property for CSS. You cannot put a video file in this property.
