To make Vimeo videos autoplay in Webflow, follow these steps:
- 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.
- Log in to your Vimeo account and locate the video you want to embed on your Webflow site.
- Click on the "Share" button below the video.
- In the sharing options, choose the "Embed" option. This will provide you with the embed code for the video.
- Copy the embed code provided by Vimeo.
- Go to your Webflow project and open the Designer.

- Insert an Embed element into your layout by dragging it from the elements panel and dropping it into your desired location.
- Double-click on the Embed element to open the embed settings.
- Paste the Vimeo embed code into the embed settings field.
- In the embed settings, locate the autoplay parameter in the Vimeo iframe embed code (it should be autoplay=0).
- Change the autoplay parameter value to 1 (autoplay=1) to enable autoplay for the video.
- Customize the other settings of the Embed element, such as width and height, to fit your design.
- 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.
