Video not automatically playing on Intro slide

Nov 06, 2020

Hi, All.

I'm having issue trying to have the first slide in a course to play automatically upon entry.

Mp4 set to show in slide, play automatically with no video controls.

When published I receive (and my client in 360 review) a play button on screen.

Any ideas or work arounds?

Thanks, Eric

Greetings, Eric!

Do you see the play button in Chrome?

If yes, Google no longer allows videos with audio to autoplay in Chrome 66+. As a result, learners may now see a play button when they launch a course with audio or video on the first slide.

  • Clicking the play button will start the course, and the media should play as expected.
  • Also, videos on other slides should autoplay as expected.

Let me know if that matches your experience!
