I am trying to set a different word count for an excerpt depending on whether the user is viewing the view on desk top or mobile

I have a shortcode which I am using in a view (legacy views) which sets the word count for an excerpt

<p class="media-excerpt mt-3">[wpv-post-excerpt length="35" count="word" format="noautop" more="..."]</p>

This works fine on desktop but on mobile and tablet, it is too many words. Is there a way for example using conditional tags or maybe media queries where I can specify that the word count should be 10 words on mobile and tablet.

Thanks!
