Vyond video in Rise lesson
Is there a way to make the video created in Vyond, when loaded to a rise course as a video, to start automatically without the play button?
Hi!
I don't believe this is a Rise issue but rather a browser feature... Autoplay policies are different for each browser.
- Google Chrome: Chrome has specific criteria for allowing autoplay with sound. These include:
- User Interaction: Autoplay with sound is permitted on domains where the user has previously interacted.
- Previous Media Playback: If the user has played a video with sound on an active tab before, autoplay with sound is allowed.
- Mobile Engagement: For mobile users, if they have added the site to their home screen or installed the site’s Progressive Web App (PWA), autoplay with sound is permitted.
- Media Engagement Index (MEI): Chrome uses a metric called the Media Engagement Index to determine if videos should autoplay with sound. The MEI calculates this based on various factors, including the history of the user's interactions with media on the site.
- Mozilla Firefox: Firefox has a stricter autoplay policy. It generally blocks autoplay unless the audio is muted (or has its volume set to 0), the user has interacted with the site or the video element before, or the site has been explicitly whitelisted by the user.
- Microsoft Edge: Starting with version 92, Edge follows a similar approach to Chrome, disabling autoplay with sound for all videos by default, while allowing some based on domains that users have interacted with previously.
