I also cannot get vimeo video to auto play by adding the recommended autoplay=1 to the video URL.

Any workarounds to get the video to autoplay?

Hello,

Thanks for your Patience!

This is due to Browser’s AutoPlay Policy: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay/. So currently, if you want AutoPlay Video, you will have to keep them muted. This is applicable on all Browsers.

Currently, this can be fixed in a Lightbox. 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 fix the issue in the Lightbox. Hope this Helps!
