    I’m new to this, but so far Enfold has been amazing. It’s gorgeous! I know this topic has been hit up on the boards several times, so please bare with me. I’m trying to get video to play on mobile, linked from Vimeo. Right now I’m using the shortcode.js workaround that was posted on the forums and setting it to false on ios and ipad. The video doesn’t play and when you press on it, it just toggles the pause and play buttons every time you press it. Here is a link to my site:

    I know what a big rabbit hole it might be to get video to autoplay on ipads due to ios wanting to maintain data plans, but if you look online for “autoplay video on ios” you will see that it is a heavily sought after feature…kind of the holy grail :) jk I purposely switched my site to Enfold because it was one of the few supporting parallax and video backgrounds (big win). I was a bit bummed when it didn’t work the same way on my ipad. When you see sites like http://www.lifeofpimovie.com/ on an ipad, you are reminded that you are holding a cool future machine in your hands.

    Anyways that’s just an aside. I would love for you guys to be the first ones on the market to make this feature possible and easy. Love the theme and how helpful you guys are on the forums. Keep up the amazing work!

    Hey Alden!

    it does not autoplay on mobile because it will need a lot of traffic and that can be very expensive in countries where they charge per MB. You could try to make a feature request here though: kriesi.at/support/enfold-feature-requests/

    Best regards,
    Andy
