Option to add or suppress the Vimeo description

Ask the Community General Questions

Currently it displays the description by default – which may be good for some sites, but I want to disable the description, since the description appears as a big white box beneath the video on an iPhone, and distracts from the video. On an iPad, the description is only partially visible at the bottom of the screen. You can remove the description on an iPad by going to full screen mode, but unfortunately the screen does not rotate the video when you rotate the screen. Then the next video in the carousel does not appear in full screen mode and the description reappears.

Hi there and welcome aboard @user174 :wave:

If you want to remove just the description text, you can do this in the Popup Settings section on the Playback tab:

In case you want to remove the whole description section, add this code to the Custom CSS field on the Style tab of your widget’s settings:

.global-styles, .eapp-vimeo-gallery-popup-item-info {
display: none;
}

However, if you need to apply this option only to mobile devices, this code should do the trick for you:

@media (max-width: 475px) {
  .global-styles, .eapp-vimeo-gallery-popup-item-info {
    display: none;
  }
}

Check these solutions and let me know how they worked :slightly_smiling_face:

Max,
Thank you for your response. I may have other modifications as well. I’m not a coder, and will pass this along to my tech guy, but is there documentation on any other modifications we can make to the default Vimeo carousel?

Thank you,
-Steve

We have a CSS Codes category where you can find several codes for different cases. Feel free to check it out - Vimeo Gallery - Elfsight Community

However, if you haven’t found the needed code, just describe your use case and we’ll try to find a custom solution for you :wink:
