Dear kriesi-Team,
we have been looking for every possible solution in the enfold theme and in this forum but we can’t seem to find one that’s working for us.
We want to achieve the background video in a color section to work on mobile devices too. We know that autoplay won’t work, but we are fine with that. However it needs to be possible to enable a “play” button to start the video. We tried various other elements or tricks but none seemed to work. Color section should stay as we have 3 navigation buttons on top of the background which need to stay as they are very important to the layout.
Is there any way to display the video in the background with an play button as autoplay obviously won’t work.
Thanks for your time and help.
Hey b3plus,
you could use a video element instead and display it on mobile only (while hiding it on desktop).
Best regards,
Andy
Yeah, thanks for the suggestion! We already tried that out and the problem is that you can’t display the video on fullwidth as background then with elements on top of it so this probably won’t help us that much.
Thanks again and best regards,
Daniel from b3plus
Hi,
that’s right. Background video for mobile won’t work.

Hello. Is there no way at all to make it work or is it just Enfold not supporting this? Or do mobile phones in general block background videos.

Hi,
vendors of mobile phones block autoplay of background videos on mobile.

This not the case anymore. Im looking for a solution for autoplay on mobile devices, any updates about this?
