Great examples from everyone! But has anyone else had difficulty getting their videos to stay in the background on mobile devices?
We just developed a course last week with a video background that looked great, but when testing on an iPhone, we discovered the video will play fullscreen once the timeline starts, hiding all the other components on the slide. We tried it on our client's LMS, and again with one of the demos posted here using Safari on the iPhone. I'd love to use video backgrounds, but if they "pop out" on mobile devices, we won't be able to.
Hope I'm not missing something simple - any suggestions?
Thanks!
