    Hey guys,

    We’re using a Raw HTML block to display a video background and for some reason it’s not playing on mobile devices.

    I know X does something to prevent videos to be played on mobile so I was wondering if there’s some kind of script of code that we have to turn off somewhere?

    We’re using the same structure as Porter Robinson : http://porterrobinson.com/

    Waiting for your feedback!

    Hi There,

    Yes, by default, video background is disabled on mobile. See this thread for detailed explanation:https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/video-background-image-not-showing-up-on-mobile/#post-347941

    Hope this helps.

    Hello Lely,

    I’ve carefully read the thread you linked (which I had already found previously doing a research) and it doesn’t seems to provide a solution to this problem I’m afraid..

    The Porter Robinson website (http://porterrobinson.com/) uses a similar structure with an MP4 video background and the video does play in the background on mobiles without any user interaction.

    How can we do the same?

    Kind regards,
    Bastien
