Hi – I’ve seen a number of posts about this but no manner of fiddling will get it to work!
I have a YouTube URL in a layer set to be a background slide and it’s perfect on my PC but on my iPhone it shows a frame from the movie with a Play button but won’t play. I’ve had it so tapping opens it in a new window (or overlay) but that won’t work. The idea is it’s a moving silent background to the top of the site.
Anything you can suggest?
I tried a full-width Easy Slider which also mostly worked on PC but I couldn’t get more than a few pixels of it to show up below the header on the phone.
Thanks,
ColinHey Colin,
Unfortunately background video cannot autoplay on mobile. This is a limitation of the device itself, and not a theme flaw. Please refer to the following for further explanation: https://www.aerserv.com/blog/why-does-video-autoplay-on-mobile-devices-not-work/
Best regards,
Jordan ShannonAh, thank you. That makes perfect sense. I’ll stop trying to make it work! I have succeeded in replacing the layer slider at a break point and introducing a different section at that same point into which I can add a slideshow for mobile. Seems to work.
Hi,
Great, I’m glad you were able to find a serviceable solution. Did you need further help, or shall we close this particular thread?
Best regards,
Jordan ShannonWell, it’s a different question, but I am wondering how to fit all the requested menu items on screens that are narrower than 1920 but not tablet/phone size. I’ve hacked it a bit, but unless there’s a tidy way of wrapping the menu items before they overlap the logo I’m not sure what to do. I’ve suggested to the client he nests some of them – would you be able to wrap them – without the indicator I think – at the point before they clash with the logo if you see what I mean?
If this should go elsewhere, just close the thread and I’ll see how it evolves.
Thanks.
