Chrome Vimeo Iframe autoplay not working anymore
since some days my vimeo iframe will not autoplay anymore. I know the chrome update, which will block autoplay videos with sound. Is the block already active?
The Vimeo Example code doesn't work:
But netflix.com and vimeo itself has an autoplay video on the homepage, which works.
EDIT: Chrome version 66.0.3359.139 macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
Does anyone have an idea or answer?
Thanks!
You need to add &muted=1 to the iFrame src path and you need to add the attribute allow="autoplay" to the iFrame. Now the Vimeo video starts automatically again in Chrome.
Autoplay + Mute + Start at time x sec =
#t parameter must be the last one.
Now the autoplay video just works if the audio is muted, you need to add the muted parameter into your api or iframe code &muted=1, you can change your browser preferences to allow autoplay unmuted videos: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy Change the default option to "No user gesture is required"
If the user clicks the video you can unmuted it!!
If you are paid member and want to use video as a background, this is probably what you need:
?background=1: This parameter automatically disables all elements in the player [play bar, buttons, etc], autoplays, loops, and mutes your video on load. Please note: the background parameter is only supported for videos hosted by paid members. Learn more here.
Or, if you are not:
?muted=1 This parameter will automatically mute your video on load. Once your video plays, viewers can manually un-mute by clicking on the volume bar within the player.
BUT, I still can't make it work on the phone.
muted parameter fixed my issue:
