Can't get video to autoplay on mobile.

Current Youtube video on my store wont play automatically on mobile? I've heard I need to convert the video into something else rather than a youtube video for it to work but unsure on what to do?

 

Any help would be massively appreciated

Hey,

Youtube autoplay can not be done on Android/iOs.

I'd suggest using videos uploaded from your own store with the <video> tag if you want to achieve that. 

Kind regards,
