HTML 5 Video - Problem with AutoPlay on mobile devices

[cedricschanze]

Hi guys,

I am having trouble setting my HTML 5 Videos to autoplay on mobile devices.
Although I checked the option to autoplay, it seems not to be working.
Autoplay only works on desktops.

Have a look at this project:

Any advice on how to fix that?
Thanks a million.

Cheers,
Cedric

To be sure, Autoplay can be set as a behaviour for Mobile Devices within:

Customize > Project Thumbnail > Project Thumbnail Mouseover >

Video can be set to always play "mouseover state". (need to use a mobile device to test behaviour)

@Richard Thank you for your help, but unfortunately, I am still having troubles, because it is not about the project thumbnails.
The autoplay does not work on normal html5 VideoFiles.... any suggestions?

Dear @cedricschanze

Sorry for my mis-understanding the first time - yes The HTML5 Video should Autoplay on Mobile devices.

Testing on Iphone - The Video of Jay Thompson sanding in front of the Yacht is Autoplaying but takes a little while to load.
Possibly this appears as not autoplaying?

Let me know your thoughts 🌝
