To make the CMS video component autoplay on load in Webflow without using custom code, you can follow these steps:
- Add the Video component to your CMS template or collection page where you want the video to appear.
- Ensure that the Video component is linked to your CMS collection field that stores the video URL or embed code.
- Select the Video component, and in the right sidebar, go to the Settings tab.
- Under the Autoplay section, toggle the Autoplay switch ON.
- Preview or publish your site to see the video autoplay on load.
Follow these steps carefully to ensure that your CMS video component autoplays on load without the need for custom code. It's important to note that not all browsers support autoplay, especially if they have implemented stricter autoplay policies for user experience and performance reasons. In such cases, users may still need to interact with the video component to start playing it.
Make sure to test your website in various browsers and devices to ensure the autoplay functionality works as expected.
