Start Play video in full screen

p.s. the post is Three Nights on Sado Island

Hello @usvellas,

I hope I understood your question. Depending on the editor you are using, most of them allow one to add a link to an icon, in this scenario the play button. You will add a link to it and it will play when someone clicks the button. Having a video in full screen will require you to set the video section to a full page. I hope this helps.

Also, please share links to your site without the admin rights (without wp-admin).

Manuell,

Thank you for the quick response and the heads up about sharing the site without admin rights. I’ve edited the post to remove the admin privileges. You’re on the right track – how and where do I set the video section to a full page. Currently I’m using the block editor and the video is in the block and it works fine. I just want it to start in full screen when someone clicks on the play rather than the size of the block.

thanks again for your response

Hello, your link does still not work.

You will need to ensure the alignment of the video is set to full width under the alignment to achieve this.

Hi Manuell,

The post is still in draft so I don’t know how to upload the link without the admin privileges. I created a test page with the same layout with two videos and here is the code it shows. Some of it makes sense to me but I’ not proficient enough to make the required changes.

<!-- wp:columns -->

<div class="wp-block-columns"><!-- wp:column {"width":"100%"} -->

<div class="wp-block-column" style="flex-basis:100%"></div>

<!-- /wp:column --></div>

<!-- /wp:columns -->

<!-- wp:uagb/container {"block_id":"7a6d87c1","directionDesktop":"row","variationSelected":true,"isBlockRootParent":true} -->
