Hi
I’ve seen several topics on this, but what’s the best way to force videos to play in the easy slider on mobile?
I don’t want videos to autoplay for bandwidth/data reasons, I just need the ability to play a vimeo or youtube video on mobile that I have in the easy slider. I have a simple video gallery on my site and most of my users are on mobile — so the fallback image does not help.
Any suggestions?
Hi!
Have you tried linking the slide to the video? that would create a lightbox popuo where the video will play once the slide is clicked.

Great suggestion, however, I need the videos to play natively in the slider on both desktop and mobile (no still images or fallback images).
I saw this from another post. Will that work with the latest version?
You can force videos to play on mobiles but this is not supported, open js/shortcodes.js and change line 683:
this.isMobile = $.avia_utilities.isMobile;
To:
this.isMobile = false;
No luck. I’m using the easy slider and put Vimeo links in a few slides. Works just fine on desktop, but on mobile, its still showing the message to set a fallback image in the wordpress backend.
Note: I did try the linking the slide to a video, however, on desktop, it plays in the slider AND launches the lightbox. How would I disable the lightbox on desktop just for easy sliders that have video? (I want to keep the lightbox for the other sliders that have images).
Thanks!
