Disable banner video on mobile?

I'm trying to get the video on golfpadgps.com/tags banner to NOT display and force the fall back image to display instead. I understand from SS the fact that it displays on some mobile devices is by design, however I've been asked to turn it off on mobile regardless of connection speed or browser. This is what I've tried. In inspector, the "display:none" works, but when I put it in the actual custom CSS section of the site, it doesn't do anything.

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
 .title-desc-wrapper has-main-image has-background-video {
   display:none;
 }
}

Hi @Paul2009 ,

I'm having the same issue with my websitehttps://bodyform3d.squarespace.com/landing-page (password is: bodyform3d)

I don't want video on mobile, I want a white background, that I set up as the fallback image.

Any idea how to force that fallback image? I've used the code you mention, but not working on my site..

Thank you so much!

The code above is for a specific page on a specific site because it includes a collection ID (#collection-580a9bee6a4963712b3646b8) from the site mentioned in the question. If you remove this element, it will work on similar sites.

Hey Paul2009! That worked exactly as I needed it to. Thanks for taking the time to help me. You saved me a ton of stress.

Hi Paul,

I am trying to disable the video playing on a cover page when viewed on Mobile and force it to display the backup image?

Regards, Fraser

Hi @FF100 , I've read somewhere that CSS doesn't apply to Cover Page.I think you'll have to create a regular page for that.

I dont know enough about this but why does it allow you to enter the code in the cover page settings?

Hello

Squarespace don't control whether the background video is shown on mobile devices - it is controlled by your mobile's browser.

In the past, mobiles would not load background videos but this changed recently because newer devices are now powerful enough to display them and an increasing number of networks (4G/5G/WiFi) are fast enough too.

If you want to prevent them, you'll need some CSS. The CSS in your question is incorrect, so first you'll need to remove this. Then add the following (to Design > Custom CSS):

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
 #collection-580a9bee6a4963712b3646b8 .sqs-video-background .custom-fallback-image {
   display: block;
   opacity: 1;
 }
 #collection-580a9bee6a4963712b3646b8 .sqs-video-background iframe {
   display: none;
 }
}

 

 

This will remove the video on the specified page only. Let me know how you get on.

Hi Paul,

Would this work for 7.1 too?  Alternatively, is there a way to change the size of the mobile fallback image, as this looks distorted when displayed on mobile/smaller devices?

I can DM you the URL and password if required. 🙂

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, @paul2009  I need help with my mobile banner. its cropping on mobile. please help.

here's the url:

Thanks in advance! 

Hi all,

I'm having a similar issue, attempting to disable the video on my cover page, and relying on the fallback image I've uploaded to play only when in mobile format.

@paul2009, I've placed the following code in my Cover Page's settings: advanced: code injection window –

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) 
{.sqs-video-background .custom-fallback-image {
   display: block;
   opacity: 1;
 }
{
 .sqs-video-background iframe {
   display: none;}
}

Unfortunately, I'm seeing that reps on the SS helpline see the fallback image (yay), but I'm still getting the video playing (unresponsively) on my mobile devices here at home (two separate devices, one with cache cleared).

Any advice is appreciated_

If you want it works on all pages, use this new code

/* Mobile show fallback image */
@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
.sqs-video-background-native__video-player.video-player {
    display: none !important;
}
.section-background img {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}
}

Try adding to Design > Custom CSS

/* hide banner video mobile */
@media screen and (max-width:640px) {
body.homepage .Parallax-item:first-child iframe {
    opacity: 0 !important;
    visibility: hidden !important;
    display: none !important;

Thank you as ever Tuanphan, you're the best!

I'm stumped and couldn't find an answer anywhere...

THE GOOD:
I was able to use one of the above CSS to get the Home banner to display as the fallback image on any mobile device while displaying as a video on any desktop.

THE BAD:
However, now the fallback image is momentarily flashing on desktop before the video begins, which is very annoying and affects the final look. I understand that it's just a placeholder while the video loads, but it's an issue. 

THE SOLUTION?:

Ideally, I'd like to have this current fallback image continue to populate on any mobile as it is doing now. But I would like a plain black background (instead of the fallback image) to display on desktop while the video loads.

Alternatively for mobile to get a similar end result, perhaps we could implement a plain black fallback background but add a text overlay if there is a way to make the banner text transparent on desktop but visible on mobile.

The site is: https://arrowheadbrands.com. Please let me know if what I'm requesting is even possible or if there is something else you might suggest.

Thank you kindly,
Brent
