Adding a video play button option

[andrew19]

Hi

We have successfully added a video module to our website, which for 99% of the time works without any issues as it auto plays and scales to the device

We have found that if a mobile user has dissabled autoplay on video's, then there is no option to play the video.

At one level this is not an issue but I would like to see if there is an option to add a play button.

Does anyone have an option to add a video play button? 

Thanks

@andrew19 if you're using a vanilla HTML5 Video tag then you just need to add the "controls" attribute to it like so:

<video controls autoplay>

That's the simplest solution. Otherwise you would need to use your own button element, CSS to style it/position it, and JS to play/pause the video on click.
