I have a video set to auto play on a website i am building. Why is it that I am the only one that the video will auto play and everybody else it does not? What is the point of turning on the auto play feature for a video if it is not going to autoplay on some people's computers? Can someone explain this? I have attached a screenshot to show that I have turned on autoplay for the video. So why doesn't it work?

Autoplay issues often come down to browser policies and user interactions, especially when videos include sound. Testing with muted playback or user-triggered events usually helps. A little creative explanation using wordy puns might even make debugging this less frustrating.

Autoplay behavior depends on browser policies, user settings, and device interactions. Most modern browsers block autoplay with sound unless the user has previously interacted with the site. Ensure your video is muted (muted attribute) to improve autoplay success. Additionally, caching or login status may allow you to see autoplay while others cannot. According to Wikipedia, autoplay restrictions are implemented to enhance user experience and reduce unwanted disruptions. Speaking of seamless experiences, just as Cava menu offers customizable options , ensuring user-friendly video playback enhances engagement.

Bonjour Gina
Un grand merci pour votre réponse.
Votre première solution en ajoutant au code l'autoplay ne fonctionne pas et cela sur des anciens sites web ou en cours de production.
Je vais voir 2 solutions: Lle (lien vers le fichier) en passant par une insertion d'un code classique Html ou une autre solution avec l’intégration d'un code Html avec JCE médiaBox parce que il fonctionne trés bien avec Themler pour les images ( Notamment les balises Title)
Si il y a un problème ou une solution, je vous informe du résultat.

Hello Gilles,

If you use youtuve or vimeo videos, try following my first suggestion with adding autoplay code to the video link.
If you have another video file (link to the file), you may need to manually edit the code to force autoplay. Even then some browsers (like mobile) may not play the video due to their policy.
Please, contact support in a separate private ticket with the details if you need further help.

Autoplaying videos is quite a complicated issue, as many browsers are fighting against it, because it can be used to create a bad user experience.

Chrome with its latest versions limited down videos, that they can only autoplay if the video is muted. This is just one of their limitations. The other one is, that a video can only start if the user had interaction with your website, meaning he clicked anywhere on it. Because of this we modified our code too, to start the video, if the user clicks anywhere on your page, as this is the best we could do and there are no workarounds.

See the official announcement https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

There is many other limitation depended on browser, devise and os.

Yes, this is where you put youtube link in the menu.

I can't tell for sure why it doesn't autoplay for some users. Could you please provide the link to your site so we could check how it works on our side?

ok will do. would that be where you drop the youtube link up in the menu? The main question is why does a video auto play for me on my computer but not for someone else? That is what is most perplexing.

Hello Nick,

Try adding this piece of the code to the video link itself: ?autoplay=1
For example, the link is http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5fy3fY, make it http://www.youtube.com/embed/JW5fy3fY?autoplay=1
