      Hello,

      I loaded youtube video as a video background. using the edit section -> background -> replace image -> video -> youtube.

      Youtube linek here (https://www.youtube.com/embed/UjcVWzsZQMQ)

      The problem is it wouldn't autoplay.
      In the page builder it would autoplay, so I didn't notice but after publishing, it wouldn't autoplay on actual site (https://www.sm.church).

      I checked the video url and it has autoplay in it, so I copied the whole address and opened the address in a browser it autoplays just fine.
      ** Address I copied from the page builder
      (https://www.youtube.com/embed/UjcVWzsZQMQ?iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&autoplay=1&controls=0&showinfo=0&wmode=opaque&branding=0&autohide=0&enablejsapi=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fprod.appdrag.com&widgetid=2)

      Please help

        Thank you for noticing this issue to us. I published a fix, it works on my end, is it good for you as well?

          Thank you for the quick response!

          It seems that the issue is fixed when accessed from a computer.
          Even when I try mobile view/size with chrome and edge, and they both work.

          However, when I access the website from an android phone (portrait&landscape) and ipad (portrait&landscape) neither autoplays.

          I see the screen blink for a second though (guessing it's trying to autoplay?)

          Thanks and appreciate your support

            @Wassim Hello Wassim, would you take a look at the issue when accessing it from the mobile device?

            Thanks

              Hello,
              Unfortunately we can't do anything with YouTube videos on mobile. YouTube videos autoplay doesn't work on mobile devices.
              You can either hide this section on mobile devices and prepare another one with text and images or host your video elsewhere on a CDN and do the same I suggested here https://community.appdrag.com/topic/741/how-to-edit-videobackground/2?_=1615366139323
