I’ve recently been trying to incorporate a video from YouTube, but nothing seems to auto-play and always shows the player controls no matter what the setting is. This is on desktop view too (I’m aware autoplay may not work on mobile devices).
What am I doing wrong, or is this a defect perhaps?
Screenshots of the video element configuration:
In the editor:
While it shows fine in the editor, in the frontend it shows this weird view instead (it remains paused, it does not autoplay):
I’ve followed other recommendations by keeping it muted and such too, but seems to make no difference, unfortunately.
Steps to reproduce:
- In editor, add Video element
- In Video element, add a YouTube video ID as required by Bricks
- Select Autoplay and Mute and Loop settings for example
- It will show fine on the editor, but if you save and go to the frontend you’ll find that it loads the basic player view and does not autoplay. Try this in Chrome and/or Safari.
