I’m using the fullwidth easy slider to insert a video onto a page with autoplay disabled. I would like to see my video’s featured thumbnail as well as a play button on screen, but instead I’m left with a black box without a play button or timeline. If I click on the box the video will play beautifully as expected, but I can’t assume my audience will know to do that. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi Isaac!
Thank you for using Enfold.
What format of video are you trying to use? If you use videos from youtube or vimeo, the video preview should show plus the play button at the very center of the slider container.

Hey Ismael,
The videos i’m using have been uploaded to wordpress directly. Is there a way to get the thumbnail and play button to show without using a vimeo link?
Thanks
Hey!
I don’t see any full width sliders on the page (http://game.ae/case-studies/). Please create a test page.
Cheers!

I’ve changed it back for you. Also, I’ve already updated the theme to 3.0.5. If you can make help make this work that would be great. Thanks!
Hi!
Unfortunately, the poster image feature isn’t available for self hosted videos for now. I’ll ask Kriesi to take a look. Use this on Quick CSS to force the controls to show by default.
.mejs-controls {
visibility: visible !important;
}
It is better to upload the videos on vimeo or youtube. https://www.wp101.com/10-reasons-why-you-should-never-host-your-own-videos/
