DG STICKY VIDEO · DIVI 5

Divi Sticky Video

When visitors scroll past a playing video, it moves to a corner of the screen and keeps playing from the same second. Scroll back and it returns to its place.

Never restarts

No code

HOW IT WORKS

One player that follows the visitor

There is never a second copy of the video, so it never starts over and never plays twice.

Press play

The video plays in the page like any other video, with its poster, play button and controls.

Scroll on

Once it leaves the screen, the same player shrinks into a corner and keeps playing from the same second.

Come back or close

Scroll back and it returns to its place. Visitors can also close it, make it smaller, or bring it back with one click.

The player stays in the page until someone presses play. Only then does it follow the visitor, so nobody gets a video they never asked for.

Choose a row structure: one, two or three columns.
Click the grey plus inside a column and pick a module.
Add your text and images, then save the page.

The clip on the right only plays the part you need, from 0:30 to 2:00. Scroll down while it plays: it waits in the top-right corner, just below the header, and returns to the page when the clip ends.

Divi 5 gets a round of new features

By the newsroom · 3 min read

Elegant Themes has published a full tour of the latest Divi 5 features. We embedded it below, so you can watch it without leaving the article.

Video: Elegant Themes on YouTube.

Keep reading while it plays: the video moves to the bottom-left corner, out of the way of the text. On a phone it becomes a player across the bottom of the screen.

When the article is long, visitors don’t have to choose between reading and watching. If they scroll back up, the video returns to its place in the story.

Start another, the first steps aside

Put as many videos on a page as you like. When a second one starts, the first goes back to its place and pauses, so there is never more than one small player.
