Adobe Portfolio - How to have an Autoplay video with audio on landing page and on regular page?

Hi everyone,

 

I have two questions/issue regarding auto play video on Adobe portfolio:

 and in some other regular pages?

  1. How to have an auto play video with audio (not neccessarily a music but some audio effects) to run on my landing page.
  2. How to have an auto play video with audio (not neccessarily a music but some audio effects) to run on a regular page?
  3. I want these videos to be autoplay withought hitting the play button.

 

Any suggestion / solution would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

    @Leedsunited, @Melankaya, @Cori5FAF,

    Autoplay of video is NOT supported by most mobile devices due to bandwidth and browser restrictions.  So this is not a failure of Portfolio, it's how the web works.  Besides 90% of users have blocked autoplay in browsers because it can be very intrusive.

     

    The best approach in web design is to always take the high road and allow users to decide for themselves if they want to play video and audio.   They might have a sleeping baby or co-workers nearby that they must consider.  Every user has different situations.

     

    You can place an animated GIF into the Masthead of your landing page.   Lots of people do that.

    You can also add video to your project pages.  But users must tap or click to invoke the play button.

    The lack of support for portfolio scares me. I don't want to invest time in it onnly to finnd out that Adobe decides to make it obsolete 😞 I am trying to figure out how to post 3 videos in a row... it would be the page container needs to be edited but I can't figure out how for the life of me.

      Portfolio isn't supported here, although there are some people who know about it and can answer some questions.
