The rollover doesn?t exist on Ipad, so you will have to choose the click. If your project is for both for consultation and tablet computer you can use the roll-over but only to add an effect or bring up a non-essential information to the understanding of your topic

Videos and sounds can?t be launch automatically. You need to create an action-?click? on an item in order to trigger. (If you use the video master, you can create a play button on the first frame of your timeline and make it disappear in the second. Therefore your autoplay movie will be played alone computer and no allowing time for the user to see this button and on Ipad, you will trigger reading).

The size (format) images is limited. So you should make sure you prepare them the right size. For example, for a panoramic, think about segmenting the photo for ipad.

Through this website you can get an idea of the format compatibility of your images and your shelves : http://www.williammalone.com/articles/html5-javascript-ios-maximum-image-size/[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Embed plugin seems not working in the editor” tab_id=”embed”][vc_column_text]To integrate an embed properly, it?s necessary that the url is https, not http.
