I’m not going to go into exhaustive detail on each browser’s specific algorithms because they are subject to change and it would defeat the core point of this post: never assume autoplay will work. We think it’s uncontroversial to say that actively circumventing the browser’s built-in user experience or user preferences is harmful. That’s not possible and no one should waste their time attempting it. This post is not about ways to circumvent autoplay policies. And users have to choose the browser that best reflects their preferences. Browser vendors (and open source library authors) have to weigh these concerns based on the interests of their users, publishers across the web, and their own business. And a lot of publishers providing content free of charge rely on autoplay for the preroll ads that finance their businesses. A lot of users hate autoplay because it’s annoying or it consumes precious bandwidth. This post is meant to be a source of information - not an editorial or positional statement on autoplaying video. There has been a lot of chatter about autoplay lately and we wanted to take a few minutes to share some best practices when using autoplay with Video.js. Prefer programmatic autoplay via the ay() method, avoiding the autoplay attribute/option.
Using the muted attribute/option will improve the chances that autoplay will succeed.
