Possible to collapse video to just the control bar unless playing?

[Solved]

  • Jeremy 13 years, 2 months ago

    I was wondering if this was possible. My site has a long list of several videos for visitors to browse through. The videos play great but there are up to 20 videos to sort through and with the video box showing at full size it makes it rather inconvenient for visitors who want to see what is available.

    I was wondering if there was a way to collapse the video down to just the control bar until someone hits play at which time it will show the full video window. It doesn’t have to be this exactly, but some similar behavior would be ideal. Just something so that visitors can see the list of videos easily without the full video window getting in the way and increasing the page size so much. Thanks for the info and assist!

    Hi Jeremy,

    I’m sorry but feature like this is not included in the plugin. It sounds interesting, and I see your point, but I am afraid we are not planning implementing this in the near future.

    On the other hand, you can maybe think about using some catchy splash screens for your videos – at least your visitors will get some basic visual information about the video while scrolling down.

    Thank you for the information! I may be able to come up with an alternate workaround, just means fighting with the site php instead. I appreciate the fast response!
