Hi

I have an issue regarding the video background module and mobile devices, I’m testing on a galaxy note2 mobile and ipad. I am using the video background module on my homepage, url is in the post details.

As you are probably aware vimeo videos do not play automatically on most mobile devices. To allow activation of the video in mobiles I have removed the module mask so the video play button is uncovered. I was hoping this would fix the issue and it has ….sort of….

Now the video only works if you press the very bottom of the player button with your finger and then it goes full screen and takes you away from the website. You have to be lucky to get it to work though.

Is something stopping the button working as it should? Can I stop it from going full size and play in the website as it should?

Many Thanks 🙂

Hi

Vimeo or Youtube don’t support auto play option in mobile devices since it will effect much on the performance.

May I know how did you remove the module mask? If you use CSS to hide, you can use media Queries to add specific css for mobile only and it will not effect the normal / full size screen:

@media (max-width: 320px) {
/* your css code goes here */
}
