airick Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Looking to create full bleed video on a site that does not autoplay. Willing to go the banner route, but how can I disable autoplay? Willing to go the video block route, but how can I make the thumbnail/video full bleed? Currently in 7.1 but early in the build and it's a simple site so willing to adopt a 7.0 template if I have to. Thanks! Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 If its a youtube video disable it from autoplaying in the video settings. Squarespace just embeds it has no control over the video itself. Disable auto play before you get your embed code. There are two ways to turn off autoplay: Switch the AUTOPLAY button off in the top right corner (above the Up next videos) so that it changes from blue to gray. Select the gear icon at the bottom of the video player to access its settings and then switch the Autoplay setting to off so that it changes from red to gray If its a vimeo video this is what you do.

airick Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 Thanks but that doesn't accomplish what I'm looking for. I think that prevents YouTube from playing the next video. I'm looking to have the video appear full bleed, but not start until a visitor clicks play. Link to comment

derricksrandomviews Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The vimeo video I posted does have the solution to keep a video from starting until the viewer hits play. The YouTube auto play off is just as you said stops a second video from auto playing after the first. If you add rel=0 at the end of the you tuble url embed code and leave auto play enabled, you tube will only play your videos from your channel. Link to comment
airick Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Looks like I can get the effect I want in 7.1 by going to Design >> Spacing and then dropping the site margin down to 0. Link to comment
