Autoplay on screen rotation

Autoplay on screen rotation


Rotate device component

When you have created an interactive video, you might want to force viewers to watch the video on a rotated device. This might enhance the viewing experience.

Ivory Studio allows you to force viewers to just this by way of the “Rotate device” component. When a viewer is, for example, holding his screen in landscape modus, a message would appear, asking the viewer to rotate his or her screen. The video will be paused automatically. After the screen has been rotated to the right position, the video will continue playing.






1.      Add to the timeline

Add the component “Rotate device” to the timeline. If you want this feature to be active during the entire interactive video, make sure the element is present on the entire length of the timeline.



2.       Setting up the orientation

Determine whether you want to force either landscape or portrait mode. 




3.      Save the project.

Click on the green checkmark to save the project.



4.     View the video

View the video via the project’s direct link (see: Publiceren en embedden). Attention: it can take up to 5 minutes before any changes become visible.
