Videos without visible controls

Custom code
1

Hey folks,
I have tried posting videos, and noticing I can only post videos uploaded/published on Vimeo or YouTube, I am wondering if there is a way to hide the controls (without upgrading my Vimeo account)

Are we able to embed videos with the video tag uploaded to our own server?

Thanks in advance!

yes you can upload it to your own server and then use the htm5l video tag… here is an overview:

make sure you set the right attributes with it:
“muted”, if you want it to be autoplayable (“autoplay”), otherwise the browsers will block them.
And “nocontrol” is self self-explanatory.
Also a not set “playsinline” attribtue might get you in trouble on ios.

I recommend to only serve a h264 .mp4 videofile, as it is supported by all browsers.
And keep the filesize as low as possible.

code could look something like this:

<video width="100%" height="auto"
      loop
      muted
      autoplay
      poster="yourposterimage.jpg" 
      Playsinline 
      preload="auto"
      nocontrols 
      disablePictureInPicture 
controlsList="nodownload">
   <source src="yourvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  
   Your browser does not support the video tag.
