Browsers have their policy of self-perform content tagged <video> using mobile. iOS, for example, does not allow autoplay (see here official Apple documentation).

In relation to Android, Firefox accepts the autoplay, quiet. Already Chrome, will only self-perform the video if it has both attributes autoplay muted (muted means audio-free) and if in the browser settings the Data economy is disabled and if in "Settings > Site Settings > Media" the option "Automatic playback is enabled".

I believe that in the case of iOS (which does not allow) and in the case of Chrome (allows within the above criteria), it is to avoid consumption of cellular network data without a previous action of the user.

  • thinking about it I did like, "I don’t know if it’s the right way"

  • var video = Document.getElementById("video"); video.load(); $(window). click(Function(){ video.play(); });

    @Julianosouza It would only help to do anything with user gesture if the Data Saving is disabled.

  • @Julianosouza I will need to leave now, but later I will give more research in depth on the subject and if I have news I warn you.
