Hello,

Try to use this code in Theme Options > Custom CSS > Custom CSS for mobile:
```
.upb_video-src {
    max-width: 100% !important;
}
```
Concerning the video not displaying on iOS devices please refer to this article:
http://demosthenes.info/blog/777/Create-Fullscreen-HTML5-Page-Background-Video

Displaying the fullscreen background video on mobile devices presents several challenges:

Most mobile platforms (iOS in particular) will refuse to autoplay HTML5 video to avoid potentially ruinous data charges.
In such cases the video will be displayed with an embedded play button, which in turn…
…may capture touches on the device, locking out links that may be in the content on top of the video.
While it is possible to feature-detect support for video autoplay with JavaScript (a technique I will cover in a future article), the easiest solution is to use a media query that switches off the video entirely on smaller screens, substituting the placeholder image in the background.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

I have also the same problem on the mobile devices.

But what I wonder, if I use your video, it will be displayed on the iPad. When I use my video it is not displayed.

My video is like your video in mp4 format.

I do not create this.

I do not know what it could be.

I have converted the video in the Different format but I just do not get out.

Hi Eva,

that works with the css style, thank you, but now I got a big margin when making the window smaller. I set the height of the video with padding-top and padding-bottom, but now, these values are obviously fixed. Is the any other wax to set the standard heigt of the video, when the text in front has less height, which is also responsive compatible?

Thank you Eva,

but this does not help. What can I do to set a height for the backgound without getting big edges on top and bottom? I try to set padding-top and -bottom to see the full video, but this brings edegs on small windows/mobile versions.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

You’re using old theme version.
Please update it to the latest version 2.3 and Woocommerce as well.
Before update delete “woocommerce” folder in the directory wp-content/themes/royal/ and it’ll be reuploaded from a new theme package.
Also update all required plugins https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ .

Don’t forget to create back up of your files and database before starting update process!

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

the new theme worked worse than the older one, also with other plugins, so we went back to to version before.

Anyway, behaviour did not change in any version. With your last css trick it is now getting smaller when the window becomes smaller size, so far so good, but the paddings on top and bottom still remain. In result we got big edges when getting smaller windows.

A solution could be to set the native height of the video wirthout doing this over padding values, but I did not find a possibility therefore.

Please, contact administrator
