DUPLICATE: YouTube Video doesn't autoplay on iOS

I set a YouTube video as the background video of a hero section (on my client’s site). The video plays on desktop (Chrome, Brave, Safari, Firefox…), but not on iOS. On mobile, the red YouTube Play button appears.

I tried hosting the video locally on the web server to avoid this issue, but in that case no video shows up, the background just stays blank.

Hey,
Since you have already opened a new thread and the topic overlaps, I am closing this thread.

NO BUG: Background video is blank / don't play (webm on ios / YouTube)

I’m trying to insert a background video to the site header. If I insert a file path (either full URL or /path/), the background is just blank. Tried in webm and mp4 formats. I did try to use a YouTube video too, but that’s not working on all browsers.

Best regards,
