Hey there,

I was lookin to embeed a video inside the product description.

I found the following code :

<video controls="controls" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
  <source src="your_url_goes_here" type="video/mp4" />
Your browser does not support our video.
</video>

which is working fine.

However, I’d like it to autoplay & loop when scrolling to it.

I tried to change


to

```css
video controls="autplay"

but it did’nt worked.

Do you guys have any solution ?

Regards,

Peter

Hey there,

I’m using the studio theme and tried the code alongside with 3 different codes and none of them is working. My video appears but with a play button and no autoplay. Do you have any suggestion for that?
