Hi there,
On my client’s site, we have video headers on most of the pages. Most of these videos do not have sound, therefore I can format them as a background video in layerslider, and they loop automatically (which is what we want). However, there are a few pages that feature videos with sound. I can add them as a layer and as long as I don’t check “use as background” then the audio will play when the user presses play. The issue though, is that when the video finishes playing, the slider just goes completely white. Is there a way to have these videos loop?Furthermore, I notice that sometimes these videos will autoplay (which is ideal) when I land on the page, and other times they do not. I don’t mind having the play button so the user can control it; but on chrome, there is no play button. You simply have to click the slider to stop or play which isn’t super intuitive.
Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thank you!
Hey raisonbrands,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Is there a way to have these videos loop?
This is not possible with the layer slider but the option is available in the theme’s Full Screen Slider or the Color Section element.

I notice that sometimes these videos will autoplay
This is because of the changes in browser media autoplay policy.

You have to mute the video if you want it to auto play on page load.
Best regards,
IsmaelThank you. I can’t use the color backgound because I need the video to play sound.
Is there any way I can at least have a fallback image so when the video is done playing the slider doesn’t just go blank?
Hi raisonbrands,
The video loops on my end. Maybe this is a better option for you?
Best regards,
Victoria
