Vimeo play requires 2 clicks on mobile to play

Hi folks,

Just looking for some help with my Vimeo player on mobile.  In our media section we have our demo reel added as a video block from Vimeo.  There's a little play symbol in the middle and when clicked on when viewing from a desktop the video starts to play. 

When clicked on when viewing from a mobile device it then shows the Vimeo player controls and you have to again click the little play button in the left corner to get the video to play.  Is there any way to code this so it works like it does when viewing from a desktop?  ie: one click play

Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks!

A client just mentioned the same problem.
What browser are you using? (he's having the issue on Chrome)

I'm having the same issue on mobile in both Chrome and Safari (doesn't seem to be browser specific). Any help would be awesome. 

We're having the exact same problem with Vimeo embeds. This is a huge PITA. Any progress with this problem or workarounds? Thanks!

I agree---I've been trying to figure out this issue for months!

So am I. Did you ever figure this out?

I am having this same issue. Has anyone found a resolution?

Doesn't work. Bandwidth issue controlled by the actual phone automatically and makes the video behave this way.

Has no one figured this out? I'm having the same issue. 

This happens with my buttons as well. The first taps seems to highlight the button and then the second will activate the button link. Very frustrating.

While adding another page to my 7.0 site, I noticed the same thing. Pasting a new embed code for each video seemed to fix the problem, but not for long. And now I'm here.
