How to Make Pause Background Clickable to Continue Watching Video

[Solved]

  • Jovan 2 years, 9 months ago

    I have added a custom popup on pause. I want the viewer to be able to click on the background to continue watching the video.

    How do I make the pause background clickable?

    Hello Jovan,

    Thank you for the question.

    We do have one known solution that may help you achieve a similar effect. This CSS fix will let you display the play button on pause:

    Hello Jovan,

    actually the issue is that the popup covers the full player area.

    You can make it smaller using a CSS like this: https://foliovision.com/player/faq/css-tips-and-fixes#popup-size

    But here’s the CSS for the clicking too: https://foliovision.com/player/faq/css-tips-and-fixes#popup-click

    Thanks,

    Is the “Allowing popup background to resume the video” still compatible with FV Player 8?

    I have a z-index issue where I click the ad, but the video plays instead.

    Hello Jovan,

    Yes, it works fine with FV Player 8.

    In the “Allowing popup background to resume the video” CSS tweak there’s a list of elements that should accept clicks:

    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup a,
    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup input,
    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup button,
    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup textarea,
    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup select {
      pointer-events: all;
    }

    Please verify that you ad is on the list. If it’s <iframe> then you simply need to add .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup iframe, to the list of selectors.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    What am I missing here?

    .wpfp_custom_popup .fv_player_popup-1 { display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 2000;}
    
    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup {
      pointer-events: none;
    }
    .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup a, .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup input, .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup button, .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup textarea, .flowplayer .wpfp_custom_popup select {
      pointer-events: all;
    }

    and I am using a script for the pop-up that rotates between iframe, images, and HTML5 videos.

    Martin 6 months ago

    Hello Jovan,

    In that case you need the rule to include iframe, img and video.

    Or perhaps there’s some common DIV element which you ad script uses and you can use that.

    Thanks,
    Martin
