Hero widget – Background video not working on mobile

Hi!

I’ve tried working with video background and it’s really cool!
But it do not work on mobile and I have looking in this forum to find a solution.

I have found a lot of other people with the same problem, but I have not yet found a solution that worked for me yet.

It is possible to make this video work on mobile?

    Both these site use background video with automatic play on both PC, Android, Mac and iPhone:

    + The link to Google Doc is also not found

    BUT: It is possible to set it to show video on PC and just a picture on smaller devices?
    – As a way to work around it?

    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,

    This is now possible with the SiteOrigin Hero widget. Please open your SiteOrigin Hero and open the Slider Controls settings group. Tick Show slide background videos on mobile and save.

    The thread Andrew linked still applies for older mobile browsers but the above setting will allow for the video to work on modern devices.

    It is possible to set it to show video on PC and just a picture on smaller devices?

    Yes. To do this, you’ll need to set a Background image alongside your frame video. If the video is unable to play, the frame background will be used.
