Assuming the icon feature of the Video element is designed to give users a nice big button to press in order to play the video (rather than the default tiny one in the bottom corner)…it doesn’t work. Clicking the custom icon just makes it disappear, the user is left with the video with it’s default play icon—the tiny on in the bottom corner which then has to be clicked in order to play the video.
Basically, as it is now, the custom overlay icon is useless.
There seem to be problems with the Youtube embed API that we can’t influence.
For example, if you insert a Youtube video using the embed code inside of the code element and add various parameters, none of them work (neither autoplay, nor showinfo, nor anything else).
The overlay only works in conjunction with the icon, which makes sense from my point of view, because how else would the user know to click on the image?
eyyy!
Yes, the overlay + icon now works on the front end! Happy with that thanks!
Now you say it - it makes sense to me as well.
Things can be said about only the icon - but this works fine for me.
Thanks again Timmse!
Sidenote:
Doesn’t matter to me that much, but FYI:
In the builder itself and in preview mode, the video doesn’t work.
Does on the front end - so fine for me.
