A partial solution for autoplay video background on mobile.

I have a video background in one of my rows.
it seems to work well enough on desktop.

but as I am finding out, it will not work on mobile.
for whatever reason, I cannot not auto-play on mobile, and even I cant play it at all on mobile (Android Chrome), as the youtube playbutton is just unresponsive. The video imaghe show with a big red button, but it cant be clicked/taped to start playing.

so…I want to be able to leave it on desktop.
and I want to convert the video to GIF and display for mobile.

I have converted the video to GIF and it works fine when added and viewed on a mobile device.
not the qaulity I wanted, but it will do.

So how can I keep the video for desktop and hide it on mobile and keep the gif images on mobile and hide it on desktop?

Thanks.

The GIF “video” solution seems to work as a workaroud.

and now I have figured out how to have one for desktop and one for mobile.
and both of them auto play.

this is the topic that solved it.
