Great explanation of a background video in React!!
I'm having this issue on mobile where the video scales to full screen after the page loads, and then I have to swipe it away to see the website. I'm using this as an example but my code is similar: https://qdync.csb.app/
For my code, I used styled components and this is what the index.js code snippet looks like for the video background:
<HeroBackground>
<VideoBackground
autoPlay
loop
muted
src={Video}
type='video/mp4'
allowFullScreen
allowfullscreen='true'
playsInLine
controls={false}
>
</VideoBackground>
</HeroBackground>However, when the page loads, the video jumps to the front and goes full screen on my phone (as if it was a Netflix video), rather than having the image of the video show as the background image on mobile.
There is a GitHub post about this where you need autoPlay loop muted playsInLine for this to work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36230522/adding-a-background-video-with-react/36230644
Any ideas how to get this to not jump into full screen mode on mobile? It's 1000% perfect on desktop (non-mobile) version, however. It's just that pesky mobile version that's messing up the video.
