HTML `<video>` Element Not Autoplaying in Safari on iOS - Seeking Workaround
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm trying to implement a video background on my webpage using the HTML `<video>` element. The goal is for it to autoplay without sound across all devices. I've set the `muted` attribute to true as per the latest standards, but on iOS devices using Safari, it's still not autoplaying as expected. Here's the code I'm using: ```html <video autoplay muted loop playsinline> <source src="path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` I've confirmed that the video path is correct and that the file format is supported. On desktop browsers like Chrome and Firefox, everything works fine, but on an iPhone running the latest iOS, the video just doesn't start. I've also checked the Safari settings, and the Auto-Play feature is enabled for my site. In addition, I've tried using JavaScript to invoke the playback after the page load: ```javascript window.onload = function() { const video = document.querySelector('video'); video.play(); }; ``` However, this approach doesn't work either. I get no errors in the console, and I'm really at a loss here. Has anyone encountered a similar scenario and found a reliable workaround? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. What's the best practice here? Am I missing something obvious? Any feedback is welcome!
