Display fall back image on Mobile instead of video.

My site has a Youtube video that plays in the background.  When I first designed and tested it several months ago, the fallback image displayed on mobile devices.  I just discovered that now the video is playing on mobile devices.  The video will not work on a mobile device as it looks terrible.  After looking over the forums and redit, I was able to get the background video to stop displaying but I can't get the fall-back image to display.  I am currently using the code below to disable the video on mobile.  I got it from a 2021 forum thread (pasted at the bottom) but can't figure out how to properly implement the background image.  I can't figure out how to find the URL of my fallback image.  

Thanks in advance for the help.  

@media only screen and ( max-width : 640px ) {
[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background {
      & > * {
        display : none;
        }
  background-image : fallback-image;
  }
  }

Use this CSS code to disable mobile + show image

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background>* {
    display: block !important;
}

[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background img {
    left: 0 !important;
}
[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background video {
    visibility: hidden !important;
}
}

Tuanphan, thanks for replying.  I tried the code you provided and I can't get it to work.  I experimented around with it and no matter what I tried the video still loads in the background for mobile sites. 

 

The only way I can block the video is using:

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background {
        display : none;
        }
}

But when I do that and try and use the ".section-background img" command you provided to force the background image to show, I just get a grey background.  

 

I tried using the 2 lines of code you provided to block and hide the video, see below, both alone and together.  No matter what I tried they don't block the background video from showing.  

@media screen and (max-width:767px) {
[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background>* {
    display: block !important;
}

[data-section-id="64f8d91696c6033781491d62"] .section-background video {
    visibility: hidden !important;
}
}

At this point I have no idea what to do.   Thanks again for the help.

Hi, I’ve tried these codes and still can’t get the mobile fall back image to load on my landing page/homepage. All that appears is the landscape video for desktop. Not the custom portrait gif I loaded into the mobile fallback content box. 

any idea what I’m doing wrong?

thanks
