No data is loaded until the user taps the play button on the audio or video player.Autoplay functions are also disabled if the visitor has enabled low-power mode on their iOS device.For more information, please see Apple's Safari Developer Library and Google's Developers guidelines. Note: For mobile or tablet devices, we recommend setting your Play Video preference (Step 4) to On hover, or On click. FAQsClick a question below to learn more about customizing video settings in the Wix Pro Gallery.How can I remove borders added to my videos?When the gallery ratio does not match the ratio of the original video, borders may be added to the video.
