Pop-up Video from clicking on a thumbnail in a photo gallery

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://www.nickpagephotography.com/landscapes

I like the way Nick Page has used Squarespace to produce this page: https://www.nickpagephotography.com/landscapes It`s a wall of photo thumbnails which I find really artistic. But it`s just a still photo gallery. Do you think Squarespace or perhaps a plug-in within Squarespace could be used to do the same for video ie produce a pop-up video (Vimeo) upon clicking on an image in a "wall of images"? Most embedded videos are obviously video links with a play button. But I like the clean look of a pure image thumbnail. Perhaps the play button could only be made to appear when scrolling over the image?
Thanks.
Ian

There is this also, one of Paul's responses .

You may want to retain the play button but move it above the titles so that visitors realise a video will play. To do this, add the following to Design > Custom CSS:

.collection-type-gallery .video-play-icon {
  bottom: 33%;
}

play-icon.png.a7b003e0cfa7423c9bd75a45e9d5304c.png

 

If you prefer to remove the icon, use this instead:

.collection-type-gallery .video-play-icon {
  display: none;
}
