To enable AutoPlay for a video in a web browser using query parameters, you typically set the `autoplay` parameter to `true` OR `1`. When using query parameters to enable AutoPlay, it’s crucial to include the `muted` parameter and set it to `true` or `1` alongside the `autoplay` parameter. This ensures that the video will AutoPlay, but it won’t play audio until the viewer manually unmutes it, in compliance with browser policies aimed at providing a better user experience and preventing disruptive AutoPlay videos.
Here’s how you can enable autoplay while keeping the video muted using query parameters:
https://your-video-player-url.com?autoplay=true&muted=true
OR:
https://your-video-player-url.com?autoplay=1&muted=1
By setting both `autoplay` and `muted` to `true` or `1`, you ensure that the video auto plays with the audio muted, which aligns with most browsers’ AutoPlay policies. This way, the video will start automatically, but it won’t play audio until the viewer manually unmutes it.
Please note that the availability and behaviour of AutoPlay may vary depending on the specific browser, and some browsers may have stricter policies regarding autoplay.
Note: ‘true’ = ‘1’ and ‘false’ = ‘0’. You can use either ‘true’ or ‘1’, and ‘false’ or ‘0’.
