Hello Team,
I am using the video media element. How do I display a preview image? How do I change the size and color of the play icon? I edited the video to add a thumbnail, didn’t help. I tried using a text box and adding a video, but the play icon does not display properly, it’s aligned to the top. Thank you for all your help.
Currently, it displays like this:
on media libary the selfhosted videos clicked – open in that media preview window. the videos there seems to start playing a bit and stopp immediately. so there is a kind of screenshot of the first scenes to see.
That would be nice to have on frontend too.Hi,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Unfortunately, you can’t set a poster or preview image to the video element yet but it’s possible with the video shortcode. Just add the “poster” attribute.

You can also use the Image element, set the video url as the link and it will open inside a lightbox once the image is clicked.
Best regards,
Ismaelthis is a nice tip – i put this into a text-block:
[video src="/wp-content/uploads/meeting1035.mp4" loop="on" preload="auto" poster="/wp-content/uploads/screenshot-1.jpg"]and see here : https://webers-testseite.de/video/
left shortcode from ismaels link above – second with image alb element (for lightbox open)
Hey Ismael, in reply, 911852, I did the code snippet. The play button color needs to be changed. Also, how do I add coding to make the play button centered on the video? It aligned with the top.
Hi dmac,
I would try to host your video with Youtube or Vimeo, it will likely help with loading the video faster at least.
Best regards,
RikardPlease close this out, I went with Vimeo and it solved my issues. Thank you everyone for your help and advice.
