How to remove the play button from a Craft theme video?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner wants to remove the play button from a video in their Craft theme and have it autoplay on loop when visitors open the site.

Initial Solution Provided:

  • Add autoplay, loop, and muted='true' attributes to the video element in theme.liquid
  • The muted='true' attribute is required for autoplay to work in Chrome 66+
  • A CSS snippet was also suggested to hide the play button by adding display: none to the deferred-media__poster-button class in base.css

Issue Encountered:
The solution worked for autoplay functionality, but caused the video to relocate to the bottom of the website instead of staying in its intended position.

Status: The discussion remains open with an unresolved positioning problem that needs troubleshooting.
