Customize the start view
The default start view ensures compatibility across all browsers (down to IE6). We strongly discourage you from modifying it using CSS.
Customize or disable the initial overlay
To customize or disable the initial overlay, please use the initial-overlay-enable and initial-overlay-visibility player settings.
Demo
Use a custom start view
You can also use your own custom start view using our JavaScript API to start the video playback as soon as the user clicks on your new custom view.
In the example below we’re using a simple <div> placeholder as the custom start view.
Demo
Note:
- Don’t add the sublime
classto the<video>element since the video will be prepared through the JS API. - Make sure you embed the jQuery library (you can find the latest version here) in your page!
- Put the JavaScript code in a
<script>element just before the</body>tag, or in an external file.
