Hi guys,
on my iPhone the intro video for my website, but also for another website, where also a video is used as an intro is used, is just a still image with a play button in a round field. It's not playing but also not disappearing on its own and when you click on the play button the website itself becomes visible. There was a time when it played automatically, so it worked in the past.
On my Macbook and iPad it's no issue at all.Is there anything I can fix by myself or might it be a bug in the system?
The browser I used on every device is Safari.
Thanks a lot :)

@lauran First I would make the intro video way smaller, because now its 10MB and that just takes too long to load to work as an intro video.
Heres an app for that:

Oh great, thank you so much for your suggestions. I will def have a look on that.
Meanwhile the videos are loading again for whatever reason, but nevertheless you're right with reducing the size.

hey can you check if you have "low power mode" enabled on your iphone?
this blocks html5 videos from playing -

thank you. whenever I recognise that again I put it in consideration.
there's a new thing going on after the update: on the mobile version is a small white stripe left and right visible next to the video but it was full frame before. can I change that?
