Auto play multiple videos when publishing?

I need to get multiple videos on the same page to auto play in my published document.

I have linked the videos in my timing window, they play perfectly in my Indesign preview but once I publish you have to manually play each video which is spoiling the effect.

I would really appreciate help.

Many browsers do not allow autoplay of videos especially those with audio.

hi Bob, 

Thank you for the message. There is no issue with auto play when it's one video per page, so it's weird to me that that would be a browser issue? I have seen examples where multiple videos are playing at the same time?
