Hi Designers,

 

Recently I was designing a webpage where I decided to go with multiple video to play automatically. But only the first video is playing in auto mode. Any solution for this?

XD just recently added the ability to play a video. If you'd like to see it support multiple videos, please upvote this feature request https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/44606880-play-multiple-videos-at-the-same-time

Not that I can find, and the answer that it's bad practice to have more than one video playing on a page is absolute rubbish. Just a poor excuse for Adobe's software not working as it should.

My simple ask.

 

I just want to create a page like this in Adobe XD., where multiple video is running at a time. How can I?  I have tried in multiple ways. But its not happening.

Hi, I think currently it's not possible to play multiple videos at once (to be honest which makes sense to me) :

Thanks for your quick reply. I was making a website fo a company who are in staffing solutuion. So I was making a hearo banner with with multiple online interview happening inside square container, and I could not show the prototype in that way, I have just explained the functionality to the client.

Insightfull. But you maybe taking about mobile UX wher I was talking about web immersive experience. Also the client is B2B so to show the context of the busines it was required to make the motion. Anyway thanks for the reply. 🙂 Hope this feature will be a roofshot. I think its a bug or something like that. 


Yes this might be one of the "exceptional" use cases that requires multiple videos to be played at the same time. I don't think it's a bug, XD's video and lottie features are unique as far as I know in the whole UI/UX Design tools market, I think they want to proceed steadier in terms of performance, you want an option to perform efficiently, I think the video size and count limit is also there to make that sure, but I'm sure there are going to be updates as the feature's being developed further. Happy creating!
