html video safari autoplay HTML

I've tried everything I can think of but I need some guidance on I have been trying to implement an HTML5 video element that plays automatically when the page loads, but it works flawlessly in Chrome and Firefox while failing to autoplay in Safari. Here’s the code I am using: ```html <video id="myVideo" autoplay muted loop> <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` I ensured that the video is muted, as I'm aware that Safari requires the video to be muted for autoplay to function. However, I still encounter the scenario where the video does not start automatically, and I don't see any errors in the console. I even tried adding `playsinline` to the video tag, but that didn't resolve the scenario either: ```html <video id="myVideo" autoplay muted loop playsinline> <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` I've also validated that the video file path is correct and that the file is accessible. This question seems specific to Safari, as the video plays without issues on other browsers. Is there a specific configuration or attribute I might be overlooking? Any insights on how to ensure this works across all major browsers would be greatly appreciated. This is part of a larger application I'm building. I'm working with Html in a Docker container on Windows 10. What's the correct way to implement this? The project is a CLI tool built with Html. Am I approaching this the right way?
