Loading gif for html5 videos
-
Hey team,
Just wondering if there's a way to use a looping gif as a loading icon for html5 videos? I'm using a very low res video for my reel atm, and I'd like to go bigger with a short loading animation to let folks know something tasting is loading.
A great example of something I'm thinking is here - https://altcinc.com/
Many Thanks & love your work!

Dear @strayorbit
Unfortunately this is not possible from the standard options provided,
However if you have have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS & JS you can fairly easily implement this onto your page through the "+ More - HTML" option within the Gridder -Alternatively you can use "Custom CSS & HTML" in "Lay Options"
Adding a Video through Custom Code:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.aspWith this option you have much more flexibility over how you control the video along with options to add a loading Gif:

For more information regarding CSS:
https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-css-styling
Additionally when using Javascript we need to remember to load it into Lay Theme with a "Newpage Event" :https://laytheme.com/documentation.html#custom-javascript
Also if using jQuery, to replace the shorthand symbol '$' to 'jQuery'
If this becomes too problematic you may wish to seek the aid of a developer.
I once again apologise that the option isn't as easy and that i cannot help further with Customisation,
however if you have any further questions please feel free to ask :)Best Wishes and thank you for using Lay Theme
Sincerely
Richard
