Chi

Thanks for the additional information.

I've escalated this with our Engineering team and I'll let you know as soon as I have an update from them.

Hi jbkechi

I'm afraid this issue requires more work from our engineering team, however, the good news is that this has been added to our engineering sprint which started last week.

I'll be communicating with our engineering and product teams throughout the sprint and I'll keep you posted with any updates on this.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

Hi jbkechi

You'll be pleased to hear that you can now play an embedded video from your styleguide in fullscreen mode.

Hopefully, this helps!

jbkechi

Hello Chi,

so now the fullscreen works correctly, but I am not able to disable autoplay 🙁
I tried autoplay="0"
autoplay=""
autoplay="false"

but I think none of those parameter are interpreted.

I will have multiple videos on the same page so I cannot have all them start at the same time 🙂

Would you be able to add the parameter that allows to stop autoplay ?

thx a lot,
JB

Hi jbkechi

Let me check with our engineers to see if it's possible to implement.

I'll be back in touch as soon as I hear back from them.

Hi jbkechi

We're still looking into this to see if it's possible, however, in the meantime are you able to let me know which web browser you're currently using?

jbkechi

Hello,
thx a lot for looking into this,

I am using Edge,Brave and safari on daily basis.

I can test things on chrome if someone is pointin a gun at my head 👓️

Hi jbkechi

I'll pass this on to our engineers and I'll update you as soon as I hear back from them.

Hi jbkechi

I have some good news for you!

Our engineers have managed to update the video embed block so that if you add '?autoplay=0' to the end of your video URL it will now prevent a video from autoplaying.

In your example, the URL would be as follows:

https://www.sevenwindows.eu/socgen/videos/figma1.mp4?autoplay=0

I do hope this helps!

jbkechi

awesome thank you !
I test it tomorrow and let you know,

thx again for the quick turn around on this!

jbkechi

ok cool so now I don't even have to use the iframe markup at all just add the link to the video, very nice !

Chi

Hi jbkechi
