 * Hi!
 * I have **embedded **a (test) web story in my WordPress post.
 * After the story comes to it’s end, I would like to give user the opportunity 
   to **replay** the story (and/or navigate back).
 * But on all devices and browsers I have tested it cannot be achieved, it seems.
 * If the post URL is reloaded the story goes right to the end …
 * (Sending visitors to the [https://kolmok.xyz/web-stories/792](https://kolmok.xyz/web-stories/792)
   URL has the controls I am looking for, yet I would like to keep visitors on the
   post.
 * In addition, on my mobile on [https://kolmok.xyz/web-stories/792](https://kolmok.xyz/web-stories/792)
   the controls are only visible in landscape mode).
 * Thus, how do I replay an embedded webstory?
 * Thanks,
    Mark

 * Hi there, [@markva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markva/) ! Thank you 
   for posting your topic.

 * While we do not currently support navigation controls for embedded stories, there
   is an open feature request for consideration [here](https://github.com/GoogleForCreators/web-stories-wp/issues/9874).

 * What you are experiencing is expected behavior. When directly going to the story
   URL on mobile, there are no navigation controls. Our stories don’t support landscape
   mode, so when you view it in landscape on mobile it will look similar to what
   you get on a desktop.

 * This plugin offers a dedicated [“Web Stories” block ](https://recordit.co/Nb36KMPzcn)
   that does exactly what you are looking for with wanting to keep visitors on the
   post. Embedding Stories using the block opens the story in a lightbox that you
   can close to simply return to the post.

 * [@markva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markva/) I can see the replay button
   when viewing your story on desktop (see [screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/76TAj5N)).

 * Thanks, yes. Mobile is my issue, I strongly believe some sort of replay button
   would be great. Next and previous can be done with mouse or tap. Replay is absent
   it seems.

 * [@markva](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markva/) These navigation controls
   will not be available on mobile devices for Stories. Navigation between pages
   on mobile is a different experience than on desktop where the pages will be tappable
   to go forward/backward and swipe to go to the next/previous story.
