I think this might be useful for others in the community and I am asking for help as I find javascript a bit tricky.

The mission is have a video lightbox open by default on the site when a visitor first arrives. I wanted to put inside a twitch link or vimeo link.

I am having trouble implementing this version: [Magnific Popup: Responsive jQuery Lightbox Plugin](https://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/)

Documentation is here: [Magnific Popup Documentation](https://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/documentation.html)

I am guessing there is some conflict with the Jquery and the built in Ghost Gallery? The magnific pop-up can’t be set to open on default (first load)? or there are just too many includes from bootstrap,jquery that conflict with the ghost scripts?

Has anyone come across any other lightbox/overlay script ?
