Hello people,

I use the video component in the autoplay mode. The video autoplays only on iOS iPad not iPhone. I muted the video. I know there are problems with the iPhone and autoplay is disabled for a better user experience. But maybe someone knows some code that I can use successfully to get the videos running in auto play mode on the iPhone. Many greetings!

    If there was a way to circumvent the iPhone preventing autoplay of videos, then everyone would use that, and it would completely defeat the purpose of this feature existing in the first place. The only way for any media to autoplay on iOS is if the user has already interacted with the document containing the video.

    you must be able to just change your iphone settings>accessibility>video>enable auto-play video previews.

     

    otherwise, how you're playing the video on your iphone. eg, is it in a browser, as part of an installed app, some other way?
