Hi,
I’m having trouble with the autoplay video on this page:

I’ve attempted to follow the support instructions on the below forum thread.

Hello Alex,

First remove the class manual from HTML:

<div id="revolutionSlider" class="slider rev_slider" data-version="5.4.8" data-plugin-revolution-slider data-plugin-options="{'delay': 9000, 'gridwidth': 500, 'gridheight': 500, 'responsiveLevels': [4096,1200,992,500]}">

On the video layer change the origin attribute to your domain, for example:

data-videoattributes="version=3&enablejsapi=1&html5=1&hd=1&wmode=opaque&showinfo=0&rel=0&origin=http://www.mydomain.com;"

If you are not in a live server yet, run the project locally (Apache) and use the origin as “localhost”:

data-videoattributes="version=3&enablejsapi=1&html5=1&hd=1&wmode=opaque&showinfo=0&rel=0&origin=http://localhost;"

Note that on Chrome the autoplay only will works after user has engagement with the website.
In other browsers like firefox the autoplay should works normally.

Please, try that and let us know if you need further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Rodrigo.

Also, you stated “that on Chrome the autoplay only will works after user has engagement with the website.” Is that the case for videos without sound, as well? Thanks for all your help!

Hello,

On desktop you can autoplay videos with sound since MEI threshold has been crossed, meaning the user has previously play video with sound or user has interacted with the domain (click, tap, etc.).

You can get more information about that here:

Kind Regards,
