How to autoplay the video and how to set the video’s default thumbnail

Priyanka Kaswala

Hi Support Team,

We recently purchased the Additional Images Gallery plugin and configured it on our site. There is no configuration on the plugin’s Settings page regarding the video, all I can see is only a video width and height even on the particular media page not on the settings page. I have two queries:

1. I want to make the video auto-play at the front – on the product detail page. Please suggest how can I do it.
2. Is it mandatory to choose the thumbnail image to add the video link? Because as per our requirement, we don’t need a separate thumbnail for each product’s video. How can we set a default media image for video?

Kindly help to achieve above both points.

Looking forward to hearing back soon.

Thanks,
Priyanka K.

Hi Priyanka,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

1. I want to make the video auto-play at the front – on the product detail page. Please suggest how can I do it.

Unfortunately, the feature is not currently available. Can you please clarify the following points? So that I can discuss this with our development team.

–> Do you want the autoplay for your hosted video or YouTube/Vimeo videos? If you want to add a YouTube/Vimeo link it will affect your site speed. For self-hosted video, we have control over that no additional script is needed.

–> Do you want the autoplay for the main gallery image when you land on the single product page?

–> Or, do you want the autoplay option for all the variations?

–> If you want it for all the variations what will be the behavior? For example: When you land on a single product page a video will be played. Once you select a variation the video will be changed and if you clear your variation selection will that video be paused or played?

please send the feature request here: https://storepress.fider.io/
and ask your other to upvote it.

2. Is it mandatory to choose the thumbnail image to add the video link?

Yes, it is mandatory to choose the thumbnail image to add a video link.

Thank You

Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply.

we are using Videopress platform of Jetpack to upload the video. The link looks like this: https://videopress.com/v/lN0m0DnO
Also, the same video link was added here (https://wptestbox.com/canopy/product/v-neck-t-shirt-videopress/) by one of your team members when we had contact here before purchasing the Variation Gallery plugin.

We want the video’s auto-play behaviour the same as this website. Please suggest how can we do this by modifying the plugin’s function/file.

2. OK, if it is mandatory then please suggest how can we set the default thumbnail image for each video.  Just link the reference website, we need to show a thumbnail of the play icon only for all the variation’s videos so please suggest if we can et the default image using any hook of the plugin or by modifying the plugin’s file.

Thanks,
Priyanka K.

Hi Priyanka,

We want the video’s auto-play behaviour

Currently, there is no option to achieve the goal you have shared.

we need to show a thumbnail of the play icon only for all the variation’s videos so please suggest if we can et the default image using any hook of the plugin or by modifying the plugin’s file.

Please add the following CSS at Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

.wvg-gallery-thumbnail-image.wvg-gallery-video-thumbnail img {
visibility: hidden;
}

It will hide the thumbnail but display the play icon to clarify it is a video.

Thank You

Hi,

Thanks for your guidance.

Another thing to know is how I can increase the zoom level on the image popup. I understand that there is no setting for the same in the backend but is there any way to change the zoom increase level in the js file or just add a custom script or something like that?

I appreciate your prompt response.

 

Thanks,
Priyanka K.

Hi Priyanka,

Another thing to know is how I can increase the zoom level on the image popup.

The zoom is dependent on the image sizes of your product.

Please check this article to learn about the zoom option of WooCommerce.

Thank You
