Possible solutions to the issue of a Vimeo embed video not playing on mobile in Webflow

If you're experiencing issues with a Vimeo embed video not playing on mobile in Webflow, there are a few possible solutions you can try:

Ensure the video is mobile-ready: Check that the Vimeo video you are embedding has mobile compatibility enabled. Vimeo provides an option to enable mobile playback within the video settings. Make sure this option is turned on to ensure the video can be viewed on mobile devices.
Use an alternative embed method: Instead of using Vimeo's default embed code, try using the iframe embed code provided by Vimeo. In the Vimeo video settings, select the "Embed" tab, and copy the iframe code. Then, paste this code into a Webflow HTML embed element. Using the iframe code can sometimes help with compatibility issues on certain devices.
Check for conflicting interactions or custom code: If you have any custom code or interactions applied to the video element or its parent elements, check if there are any conflicts that may be preventing the video from playing on mobile. Disable any custom code or interactions temporarily to see if that resolves the issue. If the video starts playing on mobile without the custom code, try adjusting your code to ensure compatibility with mobile devices.
Review the embed settings in Webflow: Double-check the settings of the video embed element in Webflow. Ensure the element has the appropriate height and width, and that any responsive settings are properly configured. Experiment with different sizing options to see if that resolves the issue.
Test on multiple mobile devices: Test the video playback on various mobile devices to determine if the issue is specific to a particular device or operating system. This can help you identify if there are any device-specific compatibility issues that need to be addressed.

Remember to republish your Webflow project after making any changes to ensure the updated video embed settings are applied. If the issue persists, you may want to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance.
