Dear staff,
i’m using a color section to play a video hosted on the hosting of the website.
In the screen option I selected “hide on mobile” and “small screen”, this is working because i’m not showing the section on mobile, but I can see that the page load is as it download anyway the video.
If I inspect the page I can see the video is loaded anyway, also if hidden.
I tried to use also the “fall back image” on mobile, but the video is still loaded on mobile also if section is not showed.
Is this normal?
Thank you.
Nobody is helping me on this? :(
Hi marco3253,
Screen options do not do conditional rendering and just hide elements on smaller screens, and so if the link is there the browser will load it. We do not have a fix for this at the moment, unfortunately.
You can have a look here, but we do not have this implemented:

Thank you Victoria for the answer. I will take a look to the link, hope this kind of behavior will be implemented in the future, at least for the videos.

Hi Marco,
Yes, it totally should but I am not sure if it will be implemented any soon.
Best regards,
Victoria
Thank you Victoria for your feedback.
