Slider Revolution / Rev Slider – YouTube Video and Broken Keyboard Scroll
Problem: Clicking pause on a YouTube video (in Slider Revolution / Rev Slider slide) breaks the ability to use keyboard arrow-keys to scroll up or down the page.
Solution: YouTube arguments (parameters) to the rescue!
disablekb=1
Go to your Slider Revolution slide:
- Click on the Layer Selector Menu (hamburger icon; my Layer is titled “youtube:youtube”)
- In the youtube:youtube Layer, click the edit pencil icon
- The “Add Video Layer” edit window will pop up
- Click on the Arguments tab
- Add this parameter to the beginning of the existing string (make sure and add a “&” symbol after the “1”):
disablekb=1 - Then click the blue Update Video button
- Then click the green Save Slide button
According to Google’s YouTube dev help: “Setting the disablekb (Disable KeyBoard) parameter value to 1 causes the player to not respond to keyboard controls.” This is exactly what I needed!
All YouTube supported parameters can be found here.
