    I have autoplay enabled on one of my videos (Vimeo), but it plays muted. Is there a way to unmute it for autoplay?

    Here is the page from my site:

    TIA

    Hey Julio,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    Due to their policy, browsers mute the videos that set to autoplay. You would either need to mute the video and enable autoplay or disable autoplay to play with sound I am afraid.

    Yigit,

    Thank you for your response. Here is a site that has it working the way I was hoping to implement Autoplay with Sound:
    https://www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/

    I’ve tested this site successfully using Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.864.54 and Google Chrome Version Version 91.0.4472.106 (latest version of these two browsers). Any idea on how they have it working so that I can replicate it – please?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    UPDATE (6/21, 3:20pm):
    I added Autoplay to my Vimeo video and included the following embedded code and it appears to be working. Am I missing something?
    <iframe src=”https://player.vimeo.com/video/558710871?autoplay=1&color=00c4d4&title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&#8243; width=”853″ height=”480″ frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Hi,

    Videos in sample site and the video on your page still does not autoplay on my end.

    Have you changed your browser settings? It is possible to enable it on browser settings however by default it is disabled.

    Best regards,

    Hi Yigit,

    Are you playing these videos from the site via a desktop browser or mobile phone? Which browser / version are you using? What country are you located in? I’m in the USA. I realize that autoplay does not work on mobile phones, but they can hit play.

    No, I have not changed any browser settings on my end. Here is the link to my site where it’s working on my end:

    Let me know if you need any additional information.

    Best regards,
    Julio

    Hi Julio,

    I am located in Lithuania. I tested on Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera on desktop and Safari on mobile however autoplay did not work on any of the browsers I tested.

    I will ask my teammate @mike who is also in the USA to check this thread but I am pretty sure this applies globally. I attached 2 articles below

    Firefox – https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay
    Chrome – https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    Thank you for your patience, I have tested two of your video pages with Chrome, Firefox & Edge and they are not auto-playing, I assume that you do not have the player option: Enable Autoplay set, because in my test with this option set the video will autoplay, but you will also need to note the comment next to the setting:

    Check if you want to enable video autoplay when page is loaded. Videos will be muted by default.

    This is to follow the recommended browser standards and good practices, you can override this by editing the file:
    \wp-content\themes\enfold\config-templatebuilder\avia-shortcodes\video\video.php on line 425 change $video_mute to zero:
    2021-06-24_002.jpg
    You can see on my test page that this works, but I’m not sure that this will work for Safari, nor can we force it to work in all browsers in all cases, it is considered bad practice.
    If this works for you and you wish to add it to your child theme, create a directory /shortcodes/video/ and copy the edited video.php there.

    Best regards,
    Mike
