HTML5 Video Tag Not Displaying Controls in iOS Safari - guide with Autoplay Attribute
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but This might be a silly question, but I'm working on an HTML5 video player using the `<video>` tag, and I'm working with an scenario where the video controls are not appearing when played on iOS Safari. The video is set to autoplay, which works in other browsers, but on iOS, it fails to show the controls, and the video doesn't start until the user interacts with the screen. I've tried removing the autoplay attribute and just leaving the controls, but the controls still don't appear when the video doesn't play. Here’s the code snippet I’m using: ```html <video id="myVideo" autoplay muted controls> <source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` I’ve also checked the file format and confirmed that the video plays fine in Chrome and Firefox, but I’m getting no controls on iOS Safari. Additionally, I’ve ensured that my iOS device is updated to the latest version (15.4), but the scenario continues. I found that users have mentioned similar issues on forums, where it seems that iOS has specific requirements regarding the autoplay feature and controls. I’ve tried adding the `muted` attribute as suggested by some, but it's still not functioning. Any suggestions on how to fix this or if there are alternatives to ensure the controls are always displayed regardless of autoplay? Thanks in advance! This is part of a larger API I'm building. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Any feedback is welcome! I've been using Html for about a year now. Is this even possible?
