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.
