Auto Play Video

Site URL: https://www.laineylee.com/

Can anyone help me figure out why this video won't autoplay? It's a vimeo embed code set specifically to autoplay.

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/699817314?h=01917e5096" width="640" height="323" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
 

Thank you!

Do you still need help?

Hi Bangank36,

Yes, I'm currently trying to get my square vimeo videos to auto play on my squarespace page. When I use the code provided for my video from vimeo I get an odd, elongated box around the video. See below.

CODE:

Result image attached.

The Squarespace Embed Block will take up an entire row unless you place another Block beside it. Have you tried placing another block beside it? If so, can you direct us to it on the site?

Hi Paul2009,

Thank you for that response. I'm trying to get an embed code that will successfully do what I managed to do over a year ago on this site page with animated, auto playing, looping square videos:

The code that I shared above makes odd spacing and also is not auto playing.

Let me check that I understand.

Are you saying that you previously added autoplaying and looping 1:1 videos on the "everydaygifting" page above without issue but since Squarespace stopped us adding embed codes to Video Blocks last week, you are now having difficulties reproducing this on another page on the same site using Embed Blocks? Is that the issue?

Hi Paul,

Yes, that's the issue I'm having across multiple new pages I'm trying to build.
