Play videos directly from within a fancybox
jdmweb share great tutorials how to play videos directly within fancybox. The idea behind this tutorial is pretty simple. We want to display a thumbnail of the video, in a link. When the user click on the image, fancybox will oponed with an overlay, and the video will start playing automatically in it.
The size of the fancybox will match the one of the object for a better effect. This technique can be achieved by using the power of JQuery and fancybox JQuery plugin.
Requirements: JQuery framework, fncybox JQuery plugin
