I have a Fullwidth Easy Slider with a YouTube video in it. It has an option for autoplay, but I want to play it when the user scrolls past it (and not when the page loads, because it isn’t at the top). It isn’t so difficult to get the current location on the screen, but I can’t seem to find out how to trigger the video to play.
So, is there any way I can hook into the YouTube (or Medialement?) API and trigger play/pause myself? Or is there even a solution available to play videos when the user scrolls past them (actually past a certain place on the page)?
Hey Chris!
