Autoplay video on mobile and desktop in DESCRIPTION (not media file)???

[ApexMikey]

It seems you can only add a video as an embed (when I have the original videos and would prefer to add them as the first line of description AUTOPLAY so that is is the first thing they see below the ATC button).

any way to do this?

thanks guys!!
Mikey.

Hi,

We need to customize the code to autoplay the video

Hi @ApexMikey 

You can autoplay a video by using the video tag and adding the autoplay attribute to it. For example:

<pre><video autoplay="autoplay" width="300" height="150">
<source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="myvideo.ogg" type="video/ogg"/></video></pre>

You can also autoplay a video by using the iframe tag and adding the allow=”autoplay” attribute to it. For example:

<pre><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M7lc1UVf-VE" width="560" 
height="315" frameborder="0" allow=”autoplay” allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></pre>

If you embed video, please check iframe method

Could you send me your embed script?

<iframe width="439" height="780" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/csSh7oYDoZI" title="Fast Push PopIt Video fun" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

this is what youtube gives me......from one i upliaded.

BUT prefer to not use youtube as the source, prefer to do it from the site/backend if possible.

thank you'

Hi there

Sorry to bother you, did you see it?

Hi @ApexMikey 

I see your code has autoplay attribute so I guess the issue is the browser compatibility

 

[ApexMikey]
