YouTube Background Video Playing Intermittently on Revolution Slider with BeTheme

jepplett

Hi, my website previously used a YouTube video as the background for a Revolution Slider slideshow without any issues. However, the video now plays inconsistently and often fails to load (Desktop, Laptop and Mobile), showing only a static black background.

Do you have any idea what may be causing this?

Thanks, Jeff

Hi,

Please always attach a link to your website so we can check it out. If the page is offline(localhost), then our help will be limited. You will have to contact us when the page is online. Also, please make sure that the page is not under maintenance before you provide us with the link.

It is always a good idea to also attach a screenshot showing your issue.

Before that, activate some other theme like Twenty Twenty-Five, and check if the same thing happens then.

Thanks

Hi,

My question relates to the Revolution Slider on the Home page – the website link is https://onboardengineering.com.au/

I have also attached screenshots for the following:

– Desktop

– Laptop

– Mobile

The slider is currently working on the Desktop and Laptop views, but not on the mobile view.

Thanks,

Jeff

Are you checking that on iOS? I checked it with Android, and it works there, but not on iOS.

The iOS does not allow autoplay videos without the playsinline parameter, so you must add it to your slider.
