How can I stop a Webflow Vimeo video from playing with a button other than the play button, close the video window when the close window button is pressed, and autoplay the video when the window opens?
To achieve the desired functionality of stopping a Vimeo video in Webflow using a button other than the play button, closing the video window when the close button is pressed, and autoplaying the video when the window opens, you can follow these steps:
1. Embed the Vimeo video:
- Drag and drop an Embed element onto your Webflow page where you want to display the video.
- Go to Vimeo and copy the embed code for the video you want to display.
- Paste the embed code into the Embed element in Webflow.
2. Add interactions to control the video:
- Select the button that you want to use to stop the video playback.
- Go to the Interactions panel and create a new interaction for the button.
- In the interaction, choose the trigger as "Click" on the button.
- Add an action to the interaction and choose "Run JavaScript" as the action type.
- In the JavaScript code, use the Vimeo Player API to stop the video. Here's an example code snippet:
\`\`\`javascript var iframe = document.querySelector('iframe'); var player = new Vimeo.Player(iframe); player.pause(); \`\`\`- Save the interaction.
3. Close the video window on button click:
- Select the button that you want to use to close the video window.
- Create a new interaction for the button.
- Choose the trigger as "Click" on the button.
- Add an action to the interaction, select "Affect different element" as the action type.
- Choose the video window element and set the action to "Hide".
4. Autoplay the video when the window opens:
- In the video embed settings, make sure the "Autoplay" option is enabled.
- Additionally, you can add interactions to control the visibility of the video window when the page loads. For example, you can set the video window to initially be hidden and use an interaction with a trigger of "Page load" to show the video window.
Remember to test the functionality on live and preview modes to ensure everything works as expected. This approach should provide you with control over when the video starts and stops, as well as the ability to close the video window with a separate button.
