Why won’t my video auto-play on my site?

Most web browsers block autoplay videos with sound to provide a smoother browsing experience and avoid overwhelming visitors. On platforms like Framer, as well as YouTube and Vimeo, videos are configured to autoplay only when muted. This means the video will begin playing silently until the user interacts with the player to enable sound.

Setting up muted autoplay videos

To set up an autoplay video on your website without initial audio, configure your video player to ensure the ‘Muted’ property is enabled in the video player’s settings.

This setup allows your video to play automatically without sound when visitors arrive on your site. It respects user preferences and aligns with browser autoplay policies.
