Videos as Web Objects don't launch automatically with the procedure "?autoplay=1" on Chrome and Edge
Bonjour everyone.
I posted a demo for last week's challenge #460 ... Using toggle buttons... The principle is simple: a YouTube video of relaxation launches automatically when you toggle each but...
Hi, Not a resolution sorry! But "some web browsers, such as Google Chrome and Safari, no longer allow audio and video content to autoplay." I think it has more to do with bandwidth and device use rather than inappropriate content - I could be wrong.
As for playback button not working - I have videos in some modules and that has never been a problem. although I do remember having to do something to make that happen. I will see if I can dig them out to see what I did.
Hi Ange. I've often used Youtube videos and the play button always works. In the case of my demo, I think it's blocking because "autoplay" won't launch when it should, and it simply has a conflict.
Hi Thierry, I looked at your file, there are rectangles over the videos stopping the click/play interaction from registering. I removed the rectangle and the videos all played (click/play) with the "autoplay" still in place. Not sure if wanted those in place for a particular reason. Thinking Hidden/Normal state may work if that is the case.
How stupid of me! I put those rectangles on the videos because I didn't want it to be possible to pause/play after launching. And I forgot about them! because it worked just fine (autoplay) for Firefox. I think I can make my demo "relaxable" now for all browsers, even if it's not exactly what I wanted to do. Thanks to you!
