Get Motion to your images. Media Hovers is a responsive HTML5 plugin which plays audio and video on hover. It can be applied to any element. Just specify thumbnail and audio or video file and turn it into your hover. Media Hovers also supports lightbox mode where images and videos can be viewed in larger mode. Lightbox can also contain Youtube videos, Vimeo videos, or any custom iframe.

Using wordpress admin, upload and configure your images with audio and video, and use shortcode in any page or post to display.

• Play media on hover or click (works on mobile too!)
• Responsive grids with breakpoints
• Masonry support
• HTML5 video and audio support
• Youtube and Vimeo support
• Lightbox support
• Animation effects
• Lightweight code
• Attach url link to images

Notes:

1. This is a WordPress plugin. If you would like a jQuery version go here:

2. Since recent Chrome and Safari autoplay restrictions, it may not be possible to play on hover until user interacts with the page before (like a click on using browser scroll before interaction with videos).
