Greetings:

When I embed the following code, the video shows but does not auto play.

<video autoplay controls>
  <source src="mp4.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

FYI, I am on latest theme.

Please help resolve the issue.

Thank you.

Hi there,

the majority of browsers will not autoplay a video unless it is muted, this article explains:

Hi Lucas,

There are quite a few parameters that are required for autoplay they are: muted autoplay playsinline

Also note that on mobile, most devices will disable autoplay if they are in Power save mode.

If you still have an issue, raise a new topic and share a link to your site where we can see the video.
