Video Element: audio controls not visible on mobile devices

When using cornerstones video element, i noticed, the mute button is not shown on mobile devices. Since audio is muted by default, there’s no option to hear/activate audio on mobile right now.

This is the default behavior of the WP media element I guess. The docs say that mobile devices have a control unmuting so it’s unnecessary. I didn’t see any sort of volume button outside of there though? I think it’s safe to just change the default to show the volume button on mobile, which we can do in the next release. Worst case scenario I might have to give you frontend JS filter. Thanks for sending this our way.

Thx! Is there anything i can do in the meantime to make it appear on mobile?

Unfortunately no, but I’ll add in a frontend filter like I did with the video buttons to change the options in the media element.
