[Resolved] Big play button icon in uploaded videos?

[Toni]

I’m going crazy and not knowing why the big “play” button icon didn’t appear when uploading a video (https://imgur.com/kiU1HI0). To other people it appearsr (see https://imgur.com/a/3bYaUH0). Exist any additional css for the big play button icon to appear?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Hi there,

That’s a Gutenberg video block so you shouldn’t need any additional CSS.

Can you quickly switch to a twenty series WP theme and see if the button appears?

Let me know 🙂

I can not. I am online and there are 100 people on my site right now.

Looks like Gutenberg just doesn’t add a big play button for video block.

I just did a test with twenty twenty theme and the result can be seen here:

I think it can be customized by js and css,
here is some info,

but i think that is old info… 🙁

Hi there,

It’s possible that the default style of HTML5 videos has changed since that screenshot.

It looks like javascript is needed to do that now. This should help: https://codepen.io/chrisnager/pen/jPrJgQ
