Why isn't my video auto-playing on the front cover?
Browsers block sound on autoplay, so muting the clip solves it
A video on the front cover must be muted to auto-play; otherwise it only starts once the reader interacts with it. Browsers block sound from starting automatically on page load, so muting the clip is what gets it to play as soon as the cover appears.
The video must be muted for it to auto-play. Otherwise, it will only start playing after the reader manually unmutes it. This is due to a browser limitation that prevents videos from starting immediately upon page load. We’ve implemented this workaround to ensure the video plays after any interaction.Next steps
