I have a Vimeo video playing in the color section at the top of my homepage. https://lovefirst.net and a background image to display until it loads. Normally, the background image displays for less than 1 second, then I get a black screen and then the video. When Vimeo is streaming well, the lag isn’t bad, but today the black screen lasts for several seconds.
Is there a way to force the background image to stay in place until the video loads and plays? Or is there a better way to do this? I can provide a login, if you need it.
Thanks for your help.
Hey macjeffff,
Thank you for the inquiry.
The preview image is actually part of the Vimeo player, so we don’t have any control over it. And unfortunately, there seems to be no option to adjust the transition duration from the preview image to the actual video when we checked the player API. Anyway, the black background only displays for less than a second when we checked the site, so this might not be an issue for a lot of users.
Best regards,
Ismael
Thank you!
