To enable autoplay for your video, locate the “Settings” tab within the video element settings panel. Here, you’ll find an option labeled “Autoplay.” Enable this option by checking the box next to it.
Note:
Keep in mind that autoplay may not work on all devices and browsers due to specific browser policies or user preferences regarding autoplaying media.
Step 4: Additional Settings (Optional)
If desired, you can further customize your video’s behavior by exploring additional options available within the video element settings panel:
- Muted: This option allows you to mute the audio of your video when it starts playing.
- Show Controls: Enabling this option will display playback controls for users to play/pause or adjust volume.
- Loop: This option enables your video to automatically restart once it reaches the end.
Step 5: Preview and Publish
Now that you have configured your video element with autoplay, it’s time to preview your website to see the changes. Click on the “Preview” button in the Webflow Designer to see how the video autoplays.
If you are satisfied with how it looks, you can go ahead and publish your website for everyone to see!
