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!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

It will require either hook, custom shrotcode or using media query. You can find the example with the following link:
