How to enable autoplay for a self-hosted video on Brooklyn theme?

Hi, so I have been using the theme Brooklyn, and I added a video through the custom HTML option. I want to make this video autoplay (as soon as the blog is opened), on loop, and not muted. I have tried searching the codes necessary for this, but nothing seems to work. So far, this is what I’ve written for the HTML:

The video works the way I wanted in the editor, but not when I opened the blog. Are there any solutions?

Thank you

Hi @vision1

Try to use this code

<video style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" controls muted playsinline autoplay loop>
<source src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0377/3215/5527/files/THE_SPEAKER.mp4?v=1587820546" type="video/mp4">

Hello! Yes, the code works in terms of making the video go on loop and autoplay. However, it also mutes the video.

@KetanKumar

When using this code, the video player controls appear when you hover over the video.

How can I use this so there are no video controls that appear, even if I hover over the video?

@KetanKumar thanks for your help.

But the videowrapper tag causes the row to get much taller and it messed up the alignment. Please check the URL again to see what I mean.

We have checked for this issue in real system and browserstack but it is working ok. In which system configuration or browser you are checking?

I am using safari and on a iPhone 7. It works but on my end you have to press the play button for it to play. It doesn’t unto play until you press play and then it loops

@Amvilles24k

i have check also but it’s working fine

this is how it looks on my end
