To make Vimeo videos autoplay in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Decide where you want to place the Vimeo video on your Webflow site. This can be in a section or within a specific page element.
  2. Log in to your Vimeo account and locate the video you want to embed on your Webflow site.
  3. Click on the "Share" button below the video.
  4. In the sharing options, choose the "Embed" option. This will provide you with the embed code for the video.
  5. Copy the embed code provided by Vimeo.
  6. Go to your Webflow project and open the Designer.
  7. Navigate to the page or section where you want to add the Vimeo video.
  8. Insert an Embed element into your layout by dragging it from the elements panel and dropping it into your desired location.

  10. Paste the Vimeo embed code into the embed settings field.
  11. In the embed settings, locate the autoplay parameter in the Vimeo iframe embed code (it should be autoplay=0).
  12. Change the autoplay parameter value to 1 (autoplay=1) to enable autoplay for the video.
  13. Customize the other settings of the Embed element, such as width and height, to fit your design.
  14. Save your changes and publish your Webflow site.

Now, the Vimeo video that you embedded in your Webflow project will autoplay when the page loads.
