Hello,
I am using the color content section to add a YouTube video to the backdrop of the header/hero image area of a website. Upon the initial play it shows the title of the video, watch later, share and YouTube logo. How do I get rid of all of that? We just want the video nice and clean. The MP4 says it is too big to upload even though the video is only 29 seconds long. I didn’t see any options in the YouTube backend to turn that off and I have done this for other clients in the same way and this does not show. Link to the demo site in comments. Le me know what I can do to get rid of that. Thanks!
Hey hylandgraphics,
Sorry for the late reply, to remove the youtube branding @Guenni007 has offered this post with a code snippet, and Here is YouTube Embedded Players and Player Parameters
As for uploading your mp4 please check your PHP Post Max Size & PHP Max Upload Size, typically these are set low by your webhost. An easy way to check is to go to WordPress > Dashboard > LayerSlider > Options and click “System Status” and look under “Server Settings”
Have you tried using the layerslider for adding the video to your page? I ask because for mobile devices autoplay is blocked but typically the layerslider is getting around that limitation.
I downloaded your video and found it was 8.26mb as an mp4 so I converted it to .webm and got it down to 2.61mb if you self host it on your site this will load faster.
