Hi all,
I've created a tour with a Node that features a pinned directional rectangular video on one wall of the panorama.
When users navigate to the node the following happens:

Desktop: The video starts playing on the wall exactly where I've placed it, automatically. It is a thing of beauty. :D

Android: The video is paused on the wall exactly where I've placed it, it plays upon clicking. This is acceptable, I guess in an ideal world it would play automatically but I can live with this.

IOS: The video starts playing in fullscreen mode obscuring the rest of the panorama. This is bad :roll:

Please help!

Tour node is here:

Hi,
Getting a blank page when using your link.
But at one point video did play in the HTML page then after an iOS update it stopped.
I have added a feature request for the developers to look into this again.
Regards to the video being paused on mobiles, you can have the video auto start but with no sound.
We decided it was better to for the video not to auto start without sound as you could miss information.
Time has moved on and we can now have the option.
So a feature request is in to be able to select to auto play, without sound or not.
You can not auto play with sound, the mobile OS prevents this.
Regards,
Hopki
