How can I trigger a video element to play using a different button

[scotbaston]

Hi,

I am trying to trigger the playing of a video element from a different element, ie a button. Can you let me know how I can do this please? I suspect this will be something with data attributes?

Best wishes

Scot

Hello Scot,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully we do not have a direct feature that allows you to connect the button click to play the video element. You may need to use custom JS filter for that. Kindly check this out:

• Video | Themeco Docs
• mediaelement/docs/api.md at master · mediaelement/mediaelement

Be advised that custom JS coding is beyond the scope of our support under our Support Policy. If you are unfamiliar with code and resolving potential conflicts, you may select our One service for further assistance.

Best Regards.
