Install AMP on Video Sub-Domain and No Videos Played

    Hello,

    When I installed the AMP plugin to my sub-domain with Adsense already appearing, none of my videos played. Only the image of the video appears. I wanted to use my theme and have AMP detect mobile visitors and send them to the mobile theme I chose that was listed. I wanted desktop users to go to my theme.

    How do I get my videos to play with AMP installed?

    Right now, I deactivated AMP and deleted it.

    Thanks

  • If you’re using the native WordPress YouTube or media block videos should work as expected in AMP URLs. Are you using a plugin to insert videos?

    Thanks for getting back.

    No plugin to insert videos. My Covert VideoPress theme that I paid for some years ago has a built-in video insertion section. All I have to do is paste in the YouTube URL and select YouTube. I also host my own videos on Dropbox and paste that video URL. Then I select Video File.

    It’s just the mobile theme (I tried 2 different themes) given me to select when setting up AMP on my sub-domain. No videos would play at all. I only get the image of the video.

    But having tested AMP, I removed it and decided to continue what I already have. When using my Android smartphone to visit my video sub-domain site/theme, everything works including all videos play and I can see my Adsense Ads. I just wanted to see if the AMP plugin gave me some kind of advantage. I guess not in my case but the AMP plugin appears to be a good plugin nonetheless.

    Apologies for the delay. It might be worth checking with the theme provider. With the WordPress default editor now featuring media and YouTube blocks they may be able to support AMP going forward.
