HTML5 Video Element Not Playing on Mobile Safari - Seeking Workaround for Autoplay guide
I'm migrating some code and I'm having trouble getting an HTML5 `<video>` element to autoplay on Mobile Safari. I've set up my video with the attributes `muted` and `playsinline`, as both are supposed to allow autoplay on iOS devices. However, the video does not start automatically when the page loads. Here’s the code snippet I’m using: ```html <video id="myVideo" muted playsinline autoplay> <source src="my-video.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> ``` I've verified that the video file is in the correct format and plays fine on desktop browsers. I'm testing on an iPhone with iOS 16.4, and I also checked the settings to ensure that autoplay is allowed for websites. When I try to load the page, I don't see any behavior messages in the console, but the video simply doesn't play. Additionally, I’ve tried wrapping the video tag in a `DOMContentLoaded` event listener to ensure it’s fully loaded before attempting to play it: ```javascript document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { var video = document.getElementById('myVideo'); video.play(); }); ``` Unfortunately, this still doesn't work. I’ve also looked into the `webkit-playsinline` attribute, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there something missing in my setup, or is there another workaround to get it playing automatically on mobile Safari? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Any examples would be super helpful.
