HTML5 video play/pause on hover
-
Hi Armin,
I would like to play/pause HTML5 videos on hover instead of on click. I tried to go through the JS code to change it but I couldn't figure it out. How can I do that?
Thanks :)

Hey leednl!
You can use this custom JS in "lay options" -> "custom html/css" -> "Custom <head> content"
<script> window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(){ jQuery('video').each(function(){ this.pause(); }); jQuery('video').on('mouseenter', function(){ this.play(); }); jQuery('video').on('mouseleave', function(){ this.pause(); }); }); </script>To make this work you need to check "autoplay" for all of your html5 videos in the gridder.

Thank you so much!

Trying the same, but it seems it doesnt work anymore. Should I do sth different?
I'm trying to use linked html5 videos in gridder. -
try disabling autoplay for the videos
also make sure the videos are muted
Need custom programming for your Lay Theme site?
I regularly add new features to Lay Theme for free, based on user feedback. But if you or your client need something more specific, I’m happy to offer custom paid programming tailored to your project.
Email info@laytheme.com with the subject "Custom paid programming for Lay Theme" and a short description of what you need — I’ll reply with a cost estimate.
Custom features I build often make it into future Lay Theme updates, so your idea might benefit the whole community.
Before you post:
- When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
- Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
- Disable all Plugins
- Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"
This often solves issues you might run into
