Hi I was wondering if it is possible to set the starting point of a video background (youtube).
For example, that the video starts playing at 20 seconds. Just for clarification I’m not asking for a delay but I want to skip the begin of a video, is this possible?
Hope to hear from you
Best regards
Chris,Hi Chris!
You can add
&t=20sto the end of your YouTube link to start at 20th second as following – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft_-5kuYY-E&t=20s
Best regards,
YigitThanks for your quick reply Yigit!
The problem is: this solution doesn’t seem to work for video backgrounds in content sections when I past my background url youtube link (e.g: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81hhkBaIvNM&t=20s ) it gives an error.
Hope that you can help me out on this one.
Best regards
ChrisHi!
Unfortunately, youtube url start parameter will not work in the color section area because it’s not using html5 video players. You need to manually trim or crop the video. https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#start

IsmaelHey guys
Is there a way to end a youtube video not in a specific element, just in the video elemient at a certain time? the workaround from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZylUYtldno does not seem to work in enfold.
Thanks
TInaHi,
Yes, that should be possible. You can use the pauseVideo or stopVideo function from the Youtube player API.
// https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference
You can find an example here:
// https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference#Getting_Started
function onPlayerStateChange(event) { if (event.data == YT.PlayerState.PLAYING && !done) { setTimeout(stopVideo, 6000); done = true; } } function stopVideo() { player.stopVideo(); }Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael
thanks for the research, that’s a good start however all videos have a different length.
it’s for a website that has about 100 videos.
Thanks
TinaHi,
You will have to find all videos in the page and define the duration for each of them. Each player or video has a unique id, so maybe you can use that to specify a different duration for each item when you iterate through them.
This is the markup of the video frame or player.
<iframe class="av_youtube_frame" id="player_12_928568916_1097519820" ... more attributes here></iframe>This is beyond the scope of support unfortunately, so you might have to hire a consultant or a freelance developer.
Best regards,
Ismaeljust one moment – brainstorming
there is a little plugin specialized on background- video. This plugin: advanced wordpress backgrounds is capable to play even youtube or vimeo videos from a start to an endpoint as background.
See here with your video from 20sec to 55sec. You only have to set a few smaller css entries to adapt it to Enfold.
The movie will be put into the appropriate section using the code-block element and a shortcode from the plugin.

Password: EnfoldBut i try to find a solution with Enfold Tools only.
if you put this in your color-section as video link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81hhkBaIvNM?autoplay=1&cc_load_policy=1&enablejsapi=1&playsinline=1&mute=1&color=white&iv_load_policy=3&start=20&end=30&loop=1&playlist=81hhkBaIvNMit starts at the right point – but on loop it starts then from the beginning. The loop=1 has effect on that – you don’t need the playlist ( Contrary to the API instructions of the past ) – don’t know why the loop goes to the real starting point.
No, not now – this little plugin is currently the only method I know that is able to loop the video including the start time
