I’m adding thumbnails that point to YouTube videos. YouTube forces extra stuff on top of the thumbnails which I’m trying to avoid.
Here’s what I’m thinking:
1. Add the raw thumbnail
2. On mouseover, the play button image would appear
3. When you click on the image, it takes you to another page

On the Enfold template I’m using, I remember on the homepage it had “Recent Top Sellers” with images of men and women and they would change on mouseover – https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-shop/

I never looked behind the scenes to see how they were doing this. Examples are deleted now.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey Julio,

Thank you for the inquiry.

You can actually use the Image element to open the video as an external link, just make sure to apply the “noLightbox” class name in the Advanced > Developer Settings > Custom CSS class field to prevent lightbox from opening. For the play button, you can try this css code.
```
.avia-image-container:hover .avia-image-overlay-wrap:before {
    content: 'Play Button Here';
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    top: 50%;
    z-index: 1000;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #ffffff;
}
```
Just replace the content value with an actual play button image or a font icon.

Best regards,
Ismael

@Ismael,
Thank you for your response. I have a couple naïve questions:
1. I have placed the Image Element within a Color Section
2. I added the “noLightbox” class name in the Advanced > Developer Settings > Custom CSS class field
3. Silly Naive Question: Where do I add this CSS code?
4. content: ‘Play Button Here’; – Is this the full URL for the button (e.g. https://kingdomlearners.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Play-Button-Mouseover-for-Thumbnails.png)?

Thanks so much for your help.

UPDATE: I have the Mouseover working, however, the play button is not clickable, but the image in the Image Element is clickable. How can I resolve this? Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for the link to your site, instead of this rule:
.avia-image-container:hover .avia-image-overlay-wrap:before
try this rule:
.avia-image-container:hover .avia-image-overlay-wrap a.avia_image:before
it will please your imge inside the link so it is clickable.
After applying the css, please clear your browser cache and check.

Best regards,
Mike
