Autoplay with Sound in Browsers
It's important to note that autoplay with sound is not supported by all browsers.
Due to a limitation enforced on them, browsers do not allow autoplay with sound. This means that even if a website has enabled autoplay with sound, it will not work in browsers. This limitation is in place to protect users from unwanted and unexpected sounds that may play when they visit a website.
So, if you're wondering why autoplay with sound is not working on your website, the answer is simple - it's not supported by browsers.
How to Work Around the Limitation
However, it's easy to autoplay your videos with the sound muted. If you're using our player, you can enable autoplay in a few ways.
Edit your player in the dashboard and set" Force Autoplay" to true.
Using our player SDK, you can instantiate the player and pass a config argument to autoplay. Docs here
You can also pass in an autoplay URL param to do the same with our embed URLs.
