    Hi @siguienteslide

    When you tap / click on the cover image, a JavaScript code runs in the background to start the video.
    Mobile devices and tablets have a limitation, that you can’t autoplay videos on them, because of the common usage of mobile internet, and the memory available on them, so only a user’s action can start a video. However, when a JavaScript code is trying to start the video, the mobile browsers recognize it as a play event that wasn’t started by the user therefore they won’t start playing the video at all.

    Because of this, we automatically removed the cover image from mobile devices, so the video can be played on mobile, too.
