Hello Mike!

I'm glad you're checking back with us! We've seen this only occur with Chrome, where Vimeo videos don't auto-play. Other than the workarounds listed previously in this discussion, we suggest using another browser that doesn't have these restrictions, such as FireFox or IE.

H and thanks Lauren.

However, the browser that I use is irrelevant. The browser my clients use is what matters here.

What is the single best workaround mentioned in the thread? I am not clear on that.

Warm regards,

    This was mentioned before.
    Autoplay is currently restricted in the following:

    Safari version 11+ (Desktop)
    Chrome version 66+ (Desktop/Mobile)
    iOS (Safari, other mobile browsers, apps)
    Firefox 66+ (Desktop/Mobile)

    There is no way to stop these autoplay restrictions. You can mute your video to circumvent this restriction but, it will require users to click the Unmute button instead of the Play button, which, in turn, defies the whole purpose to begin with.
