      Hello!

      I’ve put two carousels on my desktop page and filled them with a couple of very short videos that I want to play in an automatic and random loop. It works totally fine in the desktop version, but when I check the site on mobile, each video has a play button and doesn’t start automatically. The general autoplay settings of the carousel add-on are getting ignored.

      Is this a current bug or am I doing this wrong?

      Thank you very much!

        Dear @piero101
        autoplay does many times not work on mobile. It is a mobile browser issue.

          Thanks for your reply!
          So what would be a good work-around? I tried to export the videos as smaller GIFs, but even if I reduce the resolution to half, drop the framerate, and create GIFS with a smaller filesize compared to the mp4-videofile, carousels struggles a lot displaying them.

          Is there a better strategy I could go for?

          Thank you!

            Dear @piero101
            I think gifs are the only option in this case. You can use an alternative layout for the mobile version.

            Before you post

            Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

            1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
            2. Disable all Plugins
            3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
            4. Now see if your problem solved itself
            5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
            Troubleshooting

            When you post:
            1. Post a link to where the problem is
            2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

            Thanks!
