A Shopify store owner wants their homepage video to autoplay on loop instead of requiring manual play button clicks.
Solution Provided:
A user shared step-by-step instructions using a custom liquid section with HTML5 video code. The solution includes:
Adding a custom liquid section through Theme > Customize
Inserting HTML <video> tag with autoplay, loop, and muted attributes
The code snippet was provided with visual screenshots
Initial Success:
The original poster confirmed the solution worked perfectly on their site (lollilifting.com).
Ongoing Issues:
Multiple users report the autoplay feature fails on mobile devices (iPad, phones) despite working on desktop. The play button still appears on mobile platforms.
The discussion remains partially resolved - desktop autoplay works, but mobile compatibility issues persist without additional solutions offered.

I have my own video inserted on my website homepage but you have to manually click play when you go on the website (www.lollilifting.com for reference). I would like the video to just play automatically on loop as soon as a customer clicks on my site.
Hey may I have some help with this. I did try this method and it works fine on my PC but when you preview site on iPad or mobile device it still shows play button. Help please
