Video

Ready Added in 2.0.0

Start playing videos as they are shown or enter the viewport.

The Video component offers two advanced functions for videos. First, it allows you to pause a video whenever it’s hidden with CSS and resume playing once it becomes visible again. In addition, the video can pause when it’s outside the viewport and start playing when entering it.

Secondly, it allows you to mute YouTube and Vimeo videos, which is often needed if they are used as the background of a section.

For example, the Slideshow, Lightbox and Cover components inherit and make use of both functions.

Usage

To apply this component, add the gls-video attribute to a <video> element. The video will be paused whenever it’s hidden with CSS and resume once it becomes visible again.

<video src="" width="" height="" gls-video></video>

<button class="gls-button gls-button-default gls-margin" type="button" gls-toggle="target: +">Toggle HTML5 Video</button>

<video width="1920" height="1080" controls playsinline hidden gls-video>
    <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.webm" type="video/webm">
    <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.ogv" type="video/ogg">
</video>

Autoplay inview

To play a video when it enters the viewport and pause it again when it leaves the viewport, just add the gls-video="autoplay: inview" attribute to a <video> element.

<video src="" width="" height="" gls-video="autoplay: inview"></video>

<video width="1800" height="1200" loop muted playsinline gls-video="autoplay: inview">
    <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.webm" type="video/webm">
    <source src="http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE.ogv" type="video/ogg">
</video>

Automute YouTube or Vimeo

To mute YouTube or Vimeo videos by default, add the gls-video="automute: true" attribute to the <iframe> element.

<iframe src="" width="" height="" gls-video="automute: true"></iframe>

<button class="gls-button gls-button-default gls-margin-bottom" type="button" gls-toggle="target: +">Toggle YouTube Video</button>

<iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/YE7VzlLtp-4?autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;rel=0&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;playsinline=1" width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen gls-responsive gls-video="automute: true"></iframe>

Component options

The table below lists the available settings of the gls-video attribute. Learn more
