Hello,
I understand that you want to prevent a background video from YouTube from automatically playing when using Elementor. It’s worth noting that by default, Elementor’s video background feature is set to automatically play videos.
Technically, it is possible to alter this behavior, but it would involve the use of custom CSS to add a delay to the auto-play feature. However, as you might know, providing custom code solutions is outside our support scope.
We always recommend working with a knowledgeable developer if you want to make such adjustments, as they have the necessary expertise to implement and test these changes effectively without risking the stability or functionality of your website.
For future reference, be aware that browser policies often restrict auto-play functionality, particularly on mobile devices or when the video is muted, so these types of modifications might not always deliver consistent results.
Best regards,
