Hi there,

Tom explained the issue here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/page-header-video-doesnt-show-on-mobile-version/#post-190399

The alternative solution is to use a background image for mobile only:

Let me know if this helps.

Strange, it shouldn't play on Android but I can confirm that it is. I wonder if there was an update recently. Not sure if I agree with it, but I guess people are getting more and more data on their phones.

I believe the iPhone still opts-out of playing videos automatically.
