stop video background from playing in mobile devices

im using wpbakery Use “row settings: video background – YouTube link” in one of my rows. and added a youtube link to run in the background.
in mobile phones this is heavy and id’e like to disable it.
using
CSS display:none
doesnt stop DOM from loading and im still seeing the streaming happening in the developer tools “network tab”.
i tried using jQuery

jQuery(“.vc_video-bg-container”).attr(“data-vc-video-bg”, “”);
jQuery(“.vc_video-bg-container”).attr(“data-vc-parallax-image”, “”);

same result…..

can you help me understand how to achieve this ?

Hello,

Video cannot be used as a background in mobile by its nature. Any background is scaled on mobile what make impossible to apply video. That is why video background is often replaced with the image or color.

Best Regards

as you can see,
its still loading the videos in the background. even in mobile view
see image
this is very heavy on the page load

Hello,

This is WP bakery functionality and it is the way it works, our theme does not influence this, unfortunately.
