Hi guys – I’m making a recipe website, with video demonstrations for the food. The site is currently being developed locally.
I was wondering with Enfold if there’s a way to have an image thumbnail with some sort of translucent play circle symbol when hovering the image? I know there’s an option to place a YouTube video directly on the page, but it looks a little ugly with all of YouTube’s clutter over the video icon. It would be great if there was a lightbox integration for this – so when you click on the icon it activates a fullscreen lightbox autoplaying the video. Maybe I’m getting a little away with myself here hehe.
I was hoping for something like this http://www.midwesternmac.com/sites/midwesternmac.com/files/video-play-button-example-resized.png
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot! :-)

Hi atlantio!
You can do this with our image shortcode. Just set the link to manual and then insert a URL to your video and it will display in a magnific popup when clicked on. When you use a video for the URL it will also have a play icon displayed on hover.

Hello Elliott,
Thanks for point this one out – works a charm.
Thank you for your help :-)

One final question if you don’t mind, is there anyway to make the white playhead in the centre of the overlay symbol larger, to make it a bit more obvious that it’s a play symbol?
Here’s what it looks like at the moment: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9c0k4y4ebzcgil/Small%20Playhead%20Icon.png?dl=0
Thanks! :-)
