Anyone else have this issue or know a fix? I have a website that opens fine in 2018, but freezes (and stays frozen) when I open the index.htm file in Split View, with there being a YouTube video as the background. Removing the code it opens fine. Code below.

I can't reproduce it with the code you posted. So something is missing. I will say that auytoplay is intrusive. Set autoplay to False because that is firing up video every time your Live view screen refreshes. Can you switch to Design view instead?

I just tried both your suggestions. One, switched autoplay to "false". Two, switched to "design" view. Both work, allowing me to work on the video. However, it's a workaround and not a fix.
I can switch back autoplay to "true" when I upload it, but there has to be a better fix. And I never work in "Design View".
Here's the full code if it helps : )

This is still only partial code because we don't have your external scripts and CSS files.
As far as DW crashing, check your crash logs to see what's causing DW to crash. Try Restore Preferences.

If crashes continue, submit a bug report from your Help Menu along with a small test page containing embedded scripts and CSS code that the engineers can use to reproduce the problem in their lab.
I use embedded YouTube videos without issue. But autoplay is against my religion. It's not polite to push media on people who may not wish to consume it. Long live the PLAY button 🙂

Thanks for your help and quick reply. I am definitly familiar with the poor taste in auto playing video or music on a site, and would agree with you.
I know it might still be frowned upon but this single, "coming soon" page is made up of a video for the whole bg (there's no sound). It doesn't look right without the video playing on its on : ). Thanks again!

Also, the site works fine in DW2018. So I wonder what changed, or what setting is different???
