I am interested in setting up an HTML page with multiple video clips such that each video clip plays only while visible and then pauses when out of view.
I have found this great example of how this can be implemented with one clip, but I have been unable to modify the code to work with multiple clips. Perhaps I need to convert this code into a function for easy re-usability?
Here is what I have so far (JS Bin linked above modified for 2 clips instead of one).
This code seems to work for only one of the two clips.

Using the isInViewport plugin and jQuery, here's my code for the task
$('video').each(function(){
if ($(this).is(":in-viewport")) {
$(this)[0].play();
} else {
$(this)[0].pause();
}
})
OK, I think, it must be something like this:
var videos = document.getElementsByTagName("video");
function checkScroll() {
var fraction = 0.8; // Play when 80% of the player is visible.
for(var i = 0; i < videos.length; i++) {
var video = videos[i];
var x = video.offsetLeft, y = video.offsetTop, w = video.offsetWidth, h = video.offsetHeight, r = x + w, //right
b = y + h, //bottom
visibleX, visibleY, visible;
visibleX = Math.max(0, Math.min(w, window.pageXOffset + window.innerWidth - x, r - window.pageXOffset));
visibleY = Math.max(0, Math.min(h, window.pageYOffset + window.innerHeight - y, b - window.pageYOffset));
visible = visibleX * visibleY / (w * h);
if (visible > fraction) {
video.play();
} else {
video.pause();
}
}
}
window.addEventListener('scroll', checkScroll, false);
window.addEventListener('resize', checkScroll, false);
None of the above seemed to work for me, but I finally found a way: you'll need the visible plugin, and this little piece of code right here:
$(window).scroll(function() {
$('video').each(function() {
if ($(this).visible(true)) {
$(this)[0].play();
} else {
$(this)[0].pause();
}
})
});
This will allow any video to play only when it gets into viewport. By replacing visible( true ) by visible()
, you can set it to play only when the entire video DOM element is in viewport.
Y'all need to get with the times and use IntersectionObserver (and the appropriate polyfill or babeifyl). This script will play/pause all videos on a page when they scroll in/out of view. Boom.
<script crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=IntersectionObserver%2CIntersectionObserverEntry"></script>
<script>
let video = document.querySelector('video');
let isPaused = false;
let observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => {
entries.forEach(entry => {
if(entry.intersectionRatio!=1 && !video.paused){
video.pause();
isPaused = true;
}
else if(isPaused) {
video.play();
isPaused=false}
});
}, {threshold: 1});
observer.observe(video);
</script>
source
Need to check if the video is visible during the scrolling.
$(window).scroll(function() {
$('video').each(function(){
if ($(this).is(":in-viewport")) {
$(this)[0].play();
} else {
$(this)[0].pause();
}
})
});
Using jQuery, isInViewport, and Coffeescript, the complete solution for me looked like this:
$(window).scroll ->
$('video:in-viewport').each -> $(#)[0].play()
$('video:not(:in-viewport)').each -> $(#)[0].pause()
Old question, but just wanted to add my two cents, I initially started with the jQuery code above, but ran into some issues with the implementation. This solution should work with multiple videos, and also prevents a problem where the user pauses a video and tries to scroll away and it just starts again:
<script>
var videoList = [];
var scrollPauseList = [];
var clickedPauseList = [];
</script>
<script>
var myScrollFunc = function() {
$(".video-js").each(function(){
var inView = $(this).is(":in-viewport");
var isPaused = $(this)[0].player.paused();
var playerIdx = videoList.indexOf(this.id);
var scrollPaused = scrollPauseList[playerIdx];
var clickPaused = clickedPauseList[playerIdx];
if (inView) {
var hasEnded = $(this)[0].player.ended();
var curTime = $(this)[0].player.currentTime();
var hasStarted = curTime > 0;
if(hasStarted && !hasEnded && !clickPaused)
{
scrollPauseList[playerIdx] = false;
$(this)[0].player.play();
}
} else if(!isPaused) {
scrollPauseList[playerIdx] = true;
$(this)[0].player.pause();
}
});
};
$(window).scroll(myScrollFunc);
</script>
<video
class="video-js" controls></video>
<script>
$(".video-js").each(function(){
videoList[videoList.length] = this.id;
scrollPauseList[scrollPauseList.length] = false;
clickedPauseList[scrollPauseList.length] = false;
});
for(var i = 0; i < videoList.length; i++)
{
var playerID = videoList[i];
var player = videojs(playerID);
player.on('pause', function() {
var pID = videoList.indexOf(this.id());
if(!scrollPauseList[pID])
{
clickedPauseList[pID] = true;
scrollPauseList[pID] = false;
}
else
{
clickedPauseList[pID] = false;
scrollPauseList[pID] = false;
}
});
}
</script>
I've scrubbed some stuff, and i'm using video-js, so you may need to modify it a bit to get your implementation to work.
Tried many solutions, the only one partially working is the one posted below. The problem is that having 3 videos on the page, the second one and the third one are basically controlled by the first one.
So they start playing when the page is loaded (while they are supposed to play when in viewport) and they get paused when the first get paused, any suggestion on having this working with multiple videos?
Tried using getElementById but didn't work, tried also jquery plugins but no good results.
Here you have the www page where you can see what happen and all source code of course.
http://185.197.128.183/~monompro/
window.onload = function() {
var videos = document.getElementsByTagName("video"),
fraction = 0.8;
function checkScroll() {
for (var i = 0; i < videos.length; i++) {
var video = videos[i];
var x = video.offsetLeft,
y = video.offsetTop,
w = video.offsetWidth,
h = video.offsetHeight,
r = x + w, //right
b = y + h, //bottom
visibleX, visibleY, visible;
visibleX = Math.max(0, Math.min(w, window.pageXOffset + window.innerWidth - x, r - window.pageXOffset));
visibleY = Math.max(0, Math.min(h, window.pageYOffset + window.innerHeight - y, b - window.pageYOffset));
visible = visibleX * visibleY / (w * h);
if (visible > fraction) {
video.play();
} else {
video.pause();
}
}
}
window.addEventListener('scroll', checkScroll, false);
window.addEventListener('resize', checkScroll, false);
}
As explained here, the offsetTop/offsetLeft/etc. approaches are slower and more error prone than the newer getBoundingClientRect approach. Here's some working code to play any videos that are even partially visible in the viewport:
function playVisibleVideos() {
document.querySelectorAll("video").forEach(video => elementIsVisible(video) ? video.play() : video.pause());
}
function elementIsVisible(el) {
let rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
return (rect.bottom >= 0 && rect.right >= 0 && rect.top <= (window.innerHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight) && rect.left <= (window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth));
}
let playVisibleVideosTimeout;
window.addEventListener("scroll", () => {
clearTimeout(playVisibleVideosTimeout);
playVisibleVideosTimeout = setTimeout(playVisibleVideos, 100);
}, {passive: true});
window.addEventListener("resize", playVisibleVideos);
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", playVisibleVideos);
The setTimeout stuff ensures that the playVisibleVideos() function isn't called any more often than once every 100ms as the user scrolls (so it doesn't cause lag). The {passive: true} ensures the scroll handler function doesn't "block" scrolling (which can cause scroll lag).
Note that it seems like #Tristanisginger's answer using the more modern IntersectionObserver approach may be a better choice than this one for most people.
This is how I managed to play a video only when the user scrolls to it.
I used IsInViewport plugin.
Hope you find it useful!
$(window).scroll(function() {
var video = $('.yourvideo');
$(video).each(function(){
if(video.is(':in-viewport')){
video[0].play();
video.removeClass('yourvideo');
//I removed class to stop repeating the action ".play()" when it is scrolled again.
}
});
});
In case anyone else runs into this question, I was unable to use Saike's solution on my WordPress site because of the way the videos were auto embedded (MediaElement player). However, qwazix's solution worked with some modification. Here is the jQuery code that works with the IsInView plugin. Here are my include scripts (placed at the end of footer.php in my theme folder).
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/isInViewport.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/scrollview.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
And the jQuery code (modify 400 to your tolerance liking)
$(function() {
$(window).scroll(function() {
$('.wp-video-shortcode').each(function() {
var str = $(this).attr('id');
var arr = str.split('_');
typecheck = arr[0];
if ($(this).is(":in-viewport( 400 )") && typecheck == "mep") {
mejs.players[$(this).attr('id')].media.play();
} else if (typecheck == "mep") {
mejs.players[$(this).attr('id')].media.pause();
}
});
});
});
Only issue I have with this code is that it does restart a video clip on scroll even if paused by the user. Wasn't a deal-breaking issue on my site. Here is the code in action: Ultrasoundoftheweek.com
If you're looking for a simple solution without any dependencies, here it is:
let video = document.getElementById('video')
function playVideoOnScroll () {
const threshold = 300 //px above the video to start playing
let offset = video.getBoundingClientRect().top
if (offset < threshold) {
demoVideo.play()
} else {
demoVideo.pause()
}
}
window.addEventListener('scroll', playVideoOnScroll, false)
window.addEventListener('resize', playVideoOnScroll, false)
My working solution in vanilla 2023 Javascript using IntersectionObserver:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const videos = document.querySelectorAll('video');
const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
entries.forEach(entry => {
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
entry.target.play();
} else {
entry.target.pause();
}
});
});
videos.forEach(video => {
observer.observe(video);
});
});

I'm still very new to javascript and I'm learning as I build. This may be a simple fix but how would I disable a function on my parallax images ( or disable a specific js function in general ) on a smaller width?
Here's what I have so far that doesn't quite work but shows "undefined". I've been searching for a solution for a couple of days now with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
var paraLlaxS = document.querySelector("#firstImgc2");
var paraLlaxS = document.querySelector("#secondImgc2");
var paraLlaxS = document.querySelector("#backbox1");
function setTranslate(xPos, yPos, el) {
el.style.transform = "translate3d(" + xPos + ", " + yPos + "px, 0)";
}
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", scrollLoop, false);
var xScrollPosition;
var yScrollPosition;
function scrollLoop() {
xScrollPosition = window.scrollX;
yScrollPosition = window.scrollY;
setTranslate(0, yScrollPosition * -0.2, firstImgc2);
setTranslate(0, yScrollPosition * 0.15, secondImgc2);
setTranslate(0, yScrollPosition * -0.6, backbox1);
requestAnimationFrame(scrollLoop);
if(window.innerWidth < 900) {
document.querySelector('#firstImgc2').innerHTML = window.removeEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", scrollLoop, false);
return;
} else {
}
}
You could add a conditional return at the beginning of you function. But if the width increases again you would need to listen for that to start the loop again.
function scrollLoop() {
if(window.innerWidth < 900)return;
...
I borrowed a solution from another post.
Listen for browser width for responsive web design?
This code is compatible with a wider variety of browsers as getting the screen size can vary depending on the browser.
var width = 0;
function getWindowSize() {
if (document.body && document.body.offsetWidth) {
width = document.body.offsetWidth;
}
if (document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat' &&
document.documentElement &&
document.documentElement.offsetWidth ) {
width = document.documentElement.offsetWidth;
}
if (window.innerWidth) {
width = window.innerWidth;
}
return(width);
}
I mean to say that the video should not be playing when the page is loaded.
It should play when the video player comes in the focus of the window screen and it should pause when it is not visible on the screen using the scroll function.
I am not expecting to play videos on separate tabs.

Original Answer
Since you haven't specified if the video is in a iframe or anything, I will assume it's just embedded and offers the user play/pause/open in youtube options.
The first part is detecting if the element is currently in the viewport, and therefore visible. and then the click event if visible/not-visible.
$(window).scroll(function() {
var top_of_element = $("#element").offset().top;
var bottom_of_element = $("#element").offset().top + $("#element").outerHeight();
var bottom_of_screen = $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height();
var top_of_screen = $(window).scrollTop();
if((bottom_of_screen > top_of_element) && (top_of_screen < bottom_of_element)){
// The element is visible, trigger play click event
$("#element").playVideo()
}
else {
// The element is not visible, trigger pause click event
$("#element").pauseVideo()
}
});
You can fire the pause event for the player by watching on the scroll event for the page as
$(window).scroll(function() {
if($(window).scrollTop() > height) { //height is the pixels by which if you scroll the player gets hidden
player.pauseVideo(); //player is the YouTube player object you created
}
else
player.playVideo(); //the player is visible.
});
Correct Code for this question.

I followed Paul Lewis's guide to debounce and requestAnimationFrame. I'm translating an image across the screen on scroll when it comes into view.
var bicycles = $('.tandem-bike', context),
lastScrollY = 0,
ticking = false;
function update() {
var windowHeight = window.innerHeight,
windowWidth = $(window).width(),
bikeTop = [];
bicycles.each( function (i, el) {
bikeTop[i] = $(this).offset();
});
bicycles.each(function(i, el) {
var position = bikeTop[i];
var fromTop = position.top - windowHeight;
var imgHeight = $(this).height();
// When this image scrolls into view.
if (lastScrollY > fromTop && lastScrollY < position.top + imgHeight && i == 1 ) { // 375 ~= height of image
var translate = Math.floor((lastScrollY - fromTop) / ((windowHeight + imgHeight + 300) / windowWidth));
console.log('add tp tranlate ', translate);
$(this).css('transform', 'translateX(' + (translate - 275) + 'px)');
}
});
ticking = false;
}
function onScroll() {
lastScrollY = window.scrollY;
requestTick();
}
function requestTick() {
if(!ticking) {
requestAnimationFrame(update);
ticking = true;
}
}
window.addEventListener('scroll', onScroll, false);
This works great and the bicycle-built-for-two slides effortlessly across the screen. However, I want the image to "bounce" when the user stops scrolling. I figure an easy way would be to add a class when the animation ends, and pull it off when the animation starts. The obvious place to do that is within the if block in requestTick().
if(!ticking) {
$('.tandem-bike').removeClass('bounce');
requestAnimationFrame(update);
$('.tandem-bike').addClass('bounce');
ticking = true;
}
or
if(!ticking) {
requestAnimationFrame(update);
$('.tandem-bike').addClass('bounce');
ticking = true;
} else {
$('.tandem-bike').removeClass('bounce');
}
}
Neither works, and I don't love then because I'm whole-sale adding classes to all the animated images on the page. (I would live with that if it worked)
I am a JS noob. I am getting into browser game programming and wanted to make a quick example of a ball dropping and bouncing just to learn. For some reason, when I created a jsfiddle my code actually didn't work, the onclick event for my div id="ball" didn't seem to be attaching, but when I run it in my browser it does. But that is not my question.
In this code, the user clicks the ball, which is just a div with a black bg. The div then follows the users cursor, and when the user clicks a second time, the div begins to fall towards the bottom of the window. When it hits the bottom, it should bounce back up, with an apex half the distance between the y coordinate of where it was originally dropped and the bottom of window. So if it was dropped at y position 600 and the bottom of the page is 800, the apex for the first bounce should be 700. The 2nd bounce, the apex would be 750. 3rd bounce, 775. You get the idea. Can someone help me a bit here? I am guessing I need to increment a counter each time the ball hits the bottom?
<html>
<head>
<style>
#ball {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var ballClicked = false;
var ballFalling = false;
var ballX = 100;
var ballY = 100;
var timesBounced = 0;
var bounceApex = 0;
var startingDropHeight = 0;
var intervalVar;
var ball = document.getElementById("ball");
ball.style.left = ballX;
ball.style.top = ballY;
ball.onclick = function() {
if (ballClicked == false) {
ballClicked = true;
} else {
ballClicked = false;
ballFalling = true;
startingDropHeight = ballY;
intervalVar = setInterval(function(){dropBall()} , 5);
}
};
document.onmousemove = function(e) {
if (ballClicked == true) {
ballX = e.pageX;
ballY = e.pageY;
ball.style.left = ballX;
ball.style.top = ballY;
}
};
function dropBall() {
if (ballFalling == true) {
ballY = ballY + 1;
ball.style.top = ballY;
if (ballY == window.innerHeight - 50) {
timesBounced = timesBounced + 1;
bounceApex = (startingDropHeight + (window.innerHeight - 50)) / 2;
ballFalling = false;
if (bounceApex > window.innerHeight - 50) {
clearInterval(intervalVar);
}
};
} else {
ballY = ballY - 1;
ball.style.top = ballY;
if (ballY == bounceApex) {
ballFalling = true;
};
}
};
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="ball"></div>

</html>
When adding left and top styles, you need to specify the unit as well. So, instead of:
ball.style.left = 100;
it should be:
ball.style.left = "100px";
I've fixed that in your code and made a working jsfiddle, will improve the bouncing in a bit. See it here: http://jsfiddle.net/12grut99/
About the repetitive bouncing, this line is the issue:
bounceApex = (startingDropHeight + (window.innerHeight - 50)) / 2;
You're always calculating the apex based on the original drop height, yet after every bounce, the drop height should be the previous bounceApex (the highest point the ball reached).
I realise variants of this question have been asked before, but none specifically relating to how to do it on video.js
I'm using video.js for my videos. I need the videos to play when the user scrolls to their view. Many people have asked about html5 videos but I would like to know on video.js specifically. I've done the following but no luck -
var videos = videojs('movie-id_html5_api');
videojs("movie-id_html5_api").ready(function(){
var videos = this;
fraction = 0.8;
function checkScroll() {
for(var i = 0; i < videos.length; i++) {
var video = videos[i];
var x = video.offsetLeft, y = video.offsetTop, w = video.offsetWidth, h = video.offsetHeight, r = x + w, //right
b = y + h, //bottom
visibleX, visibleY, visible;
visibleX = Math.max(0, Math.min(w, window.pageXOffset + window.innerWidth - x, r - window.pageXOffset));
visibleY = Math.max(0, Math.min(h, window.pageYOffset + window.innerHeight - y, b - window.pageYOffset));
visible = visibleX * visibleY / (w * h);
if (visible > fraction) {
videos.play();
} else {
videos.pause();
}
}
}
});
window.addEventListener('scroll', checkScroll, false);
window.addEventListener('resize', checkScroll, false);
I should also mention I have multiple videos with the same ID 'movie-id_html5_api' and I would all like to get them to play when scrolled.
thank you in advance!!
I updated the jsFiddle to only play each video if it is scrolled into view. If the video is not in view, it is paused. Credit to this Stack Overflow answer for the playVideos function and also for storing each video player id in an array. Also credit to this Stack Overflow answer for the isOnScreen() function.
videojs.options.flash.swf = "http://vjs.zencdn.net/c/video-js.swf";
var players = ['example_video_1', 'example_video_2'];
window.addEventListener("resize", playVideos, false);
window.addEventListener("scroll", playVideos, false);
// Loop through all the players, check if video player is visible in the viewport. If it is visible, play it. If not, do not play it.
function playVideos() {
for (var i = 0; i < players.length; i++)
{
var videoPlayer = $('#' + players[i]);
var videoPlayerElem = _V_('#' + players[i]);
if (isOnScreen(videoPlayer))
{
videoPlayerElem.play();
}
else
{
videoPlayerElem.pause();
}
}
}
function isOnScreen(element) {
var elementOffsetTop = element.offset().top;
var elementHeight = element.height();
var screenScrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
var screenHeight = $(window).height();
var scrollIsAboveElement = elementOffsetTop + elementHeight - screenScrollTop >= 0;
var elementIsVisibleOnScreen = screenScrollTop + screenHeight - elementOffsetTop >= 0;
return scrollIsAboveElement && elementIsVisibleOnScreen;
}
