Video Autoplay Not Working (Chrome)

Question

Hi Semi Team,

Recently I noticed that the autoplay on vimeo link pop ups are not working in my portfolio section. This has worked for years, until recently. Autoplay works fine on FireFox and Safari, it just doesn't work in Chrome.

Would you happen to know anything about this?

I heard it might be due to iframe delegation, and that you just need to input allow="autoplay", but we don't use iframe anymore.

I tried putting allow="autoplay" in the ``, didn't work.

Code:

Hello,

This is due to Chrome's AutoPlay Policy: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/ . Only muted Videos can be AutoPlayed. To make the Videos muted by default, simply find the following code in the js/plugins.min.js File:
[ch_pre]//player.vimeo.com/video/%id%?autoplay=1[/ch_pre]

and replace it with:
[ch_pre]//player.vimeo.com/video/%id%?autoplay=1&muted=1[/ch_pre]

This will mute the Videos by default and enable AutoPlay on Vimeo Videos. Hope this Helps!
