Hi,

i use the Media Elements extension and had a page protected with Single Page Protection. The strange thing is, when the page is protected (using the JacaScript method) suddenly the autoplay works. I know that browsers block autoplay these days, but how is it possible that the Page Protection enables this? And is it possible (i know its a common question) to overcome the autoplay block with the tools of the wysiwyg web builder?

Thx, syd

I do not have a solid answer for this, but it may be because the page is dynamically build using JavaScript. So, the browser will skip the autoplay block.
I am not sure if it is a good idea to build all pages this way (to prevent the auto play block) because dynamically build pages using JavaScript may have a huge impact of the page loading time.
It will also affect SEO, because then the page content cannot be read by search robots.

Thx Pablo,

that might be also the reason why autoplay works in a Lighbox.

Since I don't want to protect the page in the final page (it's just for preview reasons for the team), do you know how to trigger the same behavior within WWYSIWIG-Web Builder? I don't really care for SEO and the page itself is quiet lightweight, so, how can I load a Page using JS (without the Page Protection Insert)?

Thx again, syd.

You may be able to able to start auto play with a timer and events.
But browsers may also block this, if not now then maybe in the future.
