KCYourEdit Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hey guys, could really do with some help! I'm trying to figure out an issue with a basic piece of custom code not working with Squarespace. The code in question is below: <center> <video autoplay="autoplay" loop="true" width="300"> <source src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/63c42a40636ad73a40b61949/t/63c45734cd040609661b246c/1673811785159/NO+MUSIC+-+Website+Home+Screen+.mp4" type="video/mp4"/> </video> </center> It works fine in design mode both for mobile and desktop but on the live site it's static and doesn't move at all. Attached is a video of how it should appear on the live site and a screenshot of what is currently happening. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

You can include the attribute autoplay instead. In some browsers, autoplay doesn't work if no muted attribute is present loop="true" is also deprecated. As above, just include the attribute loop the center element is deprecated and should be avoided. CSS should be used instead. When I add this instead, it plays for me on a live test site: <video autoplay loop muted width="300"> <source src="//static1.squarespace.com/static/63c42a40636ad73a40b61949/t/63c45734cd040609661b246c/1673811785159/NO+MUSIC+-+Website+Home+Screen+.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> Did this help?
