Autoplay on iOS devices

    Hello,

    I have a video layer that does not auto play on iOS devices:

    http://anticip.under-development.info/

    I'm using local HTML5 video files and not using youtube or vimeo hosted versions.

    How can I auto play on mobile devices?

    Hi,

    autoplay can't be implemented or achieved on mobile devices. This is the limitation of HTML5 video player and it is set as such in the HTML5 standard

    HI Igor,

    Is it still true today (August 2017) that autoplay can't be implemented or achieved on mobile devices?

    I found this discussion and am wondering if there is something here that will enable my Unite Revolution Slider to autoplay on phones: https://forum.webflow.com/t/html5-video-autoplay-now-working-on-mobile/40584/2

    Best,
    Giora

    Hi,

    that solution works only on iOS Safari 10 and only if the video doesn't have sound

    It still true!   If you read the post carefully is states that also!  The workaround that they have is limited in scope and you will need to create a fallback for users that don't have the latest browser or plugins.  


    "I have tested it on many android devices now, so I can say it's not working at all on Android. Only iOS10 Safari.

    So yes you need to provide a fallback for all the rest."
