Autoplay videos on cell phones

How do you get my cell phone to autoplay my videos? It works on the desktop and an iPad, but not my iPhone 14.

Here is my code I use in my Embed block.

<center>
  <video autoplay="autoplay" loop="true" width="550" muted="muted" controls>
    <source src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/636d6fd9f542a10598b6bd24/t/63b7430ad3ac8054cc6b8e45/1672954637057/my_video_name.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
  </video>
</center>

change this code

<video autoplay="autoplay" loop="true" width="550" muted="muted" controls>

to this

<video autoplay loop width="550px" muted controls>

Hi there, 

I'm having the same issue, was this ever solved? I've tried using the code above but it doesn't make the video auto-play, it just makes it larger on mobile the code I'm currently using to auto play is as follows:

<video autoplay="autoplay" loop="true" width="100%" muted> 
<source src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56c9ac9c59827e3fd8527ab9/t/664e599f77cc4f1b7648e3f3/1716410789422/poppy%2Bbright%2Bflash%2Bportrait%2Blifestyle%2Badvertsing%2Bfood%2Bphotography%2Btim%2Bjobling%2BLondon%2Beaster%2Bkids_2_1.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> 
</video>

Any help would be amazing!

Thanks.

Hi @tuanphan 

Thanks very much for your reply.

I tried your code but the video still doesn't auto-play on Mobile, it shows up as a normal video with all the controls showing and the option to play/pause etc. I've tried a few variations of the code and they all seem to work well on desktop but not on mobile for some reason?

Thanks again for the help!

Can you share link to page where you use video? I can check on mobile easier

Hi @tuanphan 

Here is the link to the page with the video https://www.timjobling.co.uk/easter-eggs

There is only one on there at the moment, I'd like to roll it out across my whole site if we can get it to work on Mobile too.

Thanks.

You try again with this code

<video autoplay loop width="100%" muted playsinline>
