Video + Autoplay

Modern browsers specifically prevent autoplay on unmuted videos, to avoid loud ads and other broken user experiences.

If you're old enough to remember the MySpace era of the Internet, you know the problem.

Before audio can be played the browser watches for a user interaction like a button click.

This opens up two useful patterns in Webflow-

Webflow lightboxes + autoplay

Autoplay muted, then have an unmute button which;

1. Restarts the video
2. Unmutes it
