What do I need to do to see the problem?
What do you mean by 'it crashes the mobile phones '?
What are your settings?
Can you please be more specific?

Enter the link on a phone or LT browser that emulates many devices, press play on any video and then press full screen or just press play and rotate phone

Cant do any action once i press full screen , only the main backwards function on phone will eventually return it to normal
What are your settings?
What settings do u refer to ?
Can you please be more specific?
maybe after i get a reply from this , i just wanted it to work like any youtube video i press play on my phone

Full screen is a standard YouTube feature, this is not specific to WWB. The functionality is implemented by Google.
For me, your website videos works like any other YouTube video.
Maybe there is an issue with your browser?

Yes its true it works perfectly on desktops and tablets , the issue is really using the full screen function on phone without rotating it !

If you want to this behvaior to change then you will need to contact YouTube. This is unrelated to WWB.

Is there any particular size setting for a video? When/if I save the video for Youtube I can get it down to approx. 8MB; is that too big of a file that I should be putting on a webpage as this may make the page load more s-l-o-w-l-y ?

8MB is not big for a video.
What is the exact problem?
Do you have an example?

Thanks for getting back. I was just wanted to know if this would be too large of a file for the browsers to load and maybe time out. Or, more so, that the viewer would be impatient and thus leave the site.

If you are uploading the file to YouTube then you will have no issues with play back as it is on there server and not your own.

Ok thank you. This would be going on a website not on youtube; so I guess that the video is likewise on the host's server similar to youtube.
