1. For this example, I am using my Bootstrap video card.

<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
  <video src="https://codingyaar.com/wp-content/uploads/video-in-bootstrap-card.mp4" autoplay loop></video>
  <div class="card-body">
    <h5 class="card-title">Bootstrap video card</h5>
    <p class="card-text">
      Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of
      the card's content.
    </p>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
  </div>
</div>

Output:

2. To add the hover effect on card, I am using the button color for border as well as the box-shadow when hovered.

FYI box-shadow: offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | spread-radius | color

.card:hover {
  border-color: rgb(13, 110, 253);
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 2px rgb(13, 110, 253);
}

Output:

3. The color looks too bright, so modify the opacity. (You can keep it as is or change the color instead.)

.card:hover {
  border-color: rgba(13, 110, 253, 0.7);
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 2px rgba(13, 110, 253, 0.6);
}

Output:

Bootstrap video card

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card’s content.

4. To have a more smooth feel to the hover effect, let’s add a transition.

.card{
  transition: border-color 1s, box-shadow 0.5s;
}
