Description

Is it possible to keep the Flickity swiping functionality with a youtube iframe embedded into one of the gallery cells ? See the example below. If you click on one of those cells and the video begins to play, you're no longer able to swipe from that cell. This is very hard to get around on mobile devices in instances where the gallery spans 100%.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in the linked CodePen with a YouTube iframe embedded in a Flickity gallery cell, focusing on what happens after the video starts playing on a mobile-sized viewport. Trace Flickity’s swipe handling around that cell and verify that gallery swiping remains usable after video playback begins.
