I’m trying to get some vimeo videos to autoplay. Seems like I have to use the embed code from vimeo with the autoplay button selected, so I’m using that code, below, but I can’t get it to autoplay. I’ve tried in a code block, a text block and in the Default Editor. I’ve searched several other forum posts, but I don’t see a clear answer — what’s the latest on this issue?
Here’s an example of a page where I”m having the issue: http://a48.f29.myftpupload.com/portfolio-item/shaun-ross/
I’ll include credentials, as well…
<div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;"><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/266945309?autoplay=1&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><script src="https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js"></script>Hey sky19er,
Here are some links for you to consider

Best regards,
VictoriaThanks, Victoria — that did turn out to be the issue — chrome and safari are apparently blocking vimeo videos with audio from autoplaying. What worked for me in Chrome was simply adding allow=”autoplay” to the embed code. If I add &background-1 to the src tag, the video autoplays in Safari, but it’s muted. I can’t seem to find how to get Safari to autoplay the video WITH audio — any of you know that workaround?
Thanks again.
Hi sky19er,
Here is more about the Safari issue:

Best regards,
VictoriaThanks, but, isn’t that on the user’s end? I can’t provide instructions on the site, telling users to change their Safari settings ;) . This site seems to have figured out how to get Vimeo to auto-play in Safari — any idea how they might be getting around it?
Hi sky19er,
Well, no Apple decided to keep it for the users to decide. There’s not much we can do here.
Best regards,
VictoriaOn the link I provided above, for http://crownsandowls.com — if you click through to any of the Films from their home page, they DO autoplay in Safari — you just have to click through from their home or Films page http://www.crownsandowls.com/film (you can’t go directly to the link). But even if I click through on my site http://a48.f29.myftpupload.com/motion/ (click on Shaun Ross, lower-right) — it doesn’t work.
If Crowns & Owls is getting it to work, there must be a way.
Hi sky19er,
https://cl.ly/131751226c54 That is a svg not a video.
You can use svg on your website too.
Best regards,
VictoriaNo, if you click on that svg it takes you to the Films section, then if you click on any of the films they autoplay in Safari.
