Due to the size of the video files, I have decided to load videos to my course via web object. They do load, but the user has to click play...sometimes twice... to get the videos to play.
Is there a way to get the web object video to play automatically?
If you were to go to the YouTube URL on a browser, would you have to click play? If you can change the settings on that YouTube video so that it plays automatically, that same setting should translate through your web object. I hope that works for you!

Many web objects play automatically Sam. Think you've assumed it's a YouTube vid.
